DMP Scamper

[bigrob]

I decided that my next project is to build my DMP scamper.

It is the same as the first bike my brothers and I had 40 years ago



That first bike that got me hooked

I picked up a frame a few years back and have gathered a few parts

It is an 8" steel wheel bike , I had a rear for it but no matching front so I dug into the Honda z50 pile and pulled some donor parts

The rear wheel had 6 round holes and the Honda only had 4 , so a lot of drilling and it now has 8 holes, still not the same but less noticeable lol
The front hub is from a Honda , just used the lathe to remove the brake drum and clean it up

Blasted and gold painted the huge 70 tooth #40 rear sprocket

Have to start blasting and repairing the frame

:thumbsup: I'm not the worst looking one in the picture either. Looks like a good start.

Assembled the wheels and tires , then loose fitted the new fenders from OldMiniBikes , the engine is a 3 hp tech side popper that I picked up from Rick Chatten a couple of Windbers ago

I may need to change the intake manifold

Rob how's it going ? You were a lot smaller back then big guy . That's a cool looking bike there , looks like a great project to do .

 

[bigrob]

Thanks Dave , I guess I put on 200 or so lol

Did a lot of sanding , priming and painting over the last few days

the little side popper looks like new

Primed the forks and frame

A whole lot of coats of duplicolor engine enamel

couple of coats of white on the fenders

Found some pictures of the factory chain guard , so I guess some sheet metal work is next

Not sure why pictures look so grainy , but look better in original format
