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.
Purchased this from a friend that only had it...
So I have done some reading through build threads and know a bit but hope to learn a bit more here. So I just picked up a new Hemi motor from my buddy. He played around with it but only bench fired it a few times. He pulled the governor, oil sensor, tank and installed open air filter with carb...

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...
