    RuppGrading my 72 Hustler

    I've been making some progress on my 72 Hustler. I have read other project/build threads with good pictures and useful info so I figured it would be good to share pics of my junk and add my experiences to possibly help anyone else that comes along.

    New guy with new old fun junk

    Howdy! I started reading through builds on the forum couple days back after finding a Rupp withering away at a buddy's house. I'm a car guy and know very little about bikes and figured this would be a fun little toy/project. Didn't know anything about minis or Rupps but looks like fun stuff...
