Hello all I been reading through more of the builds here, well RUPP builds and all I can say is wow. I wish I had the money and skills to make mine look this good. Im first trying to make it complete and run then I'll work on making it nicer, or more MINE, as I said in opening line.
I already purchased many parts to put on it but I dont have a garage or a place to work so I guess most will have to wait but i'll put up pics of how it looked in the ebay auction and maybe mention parts I have picked up or things i'd like to do to mine. Please any information about things I should look at asap please let me know. This is my first RUPP. I've always wanted one.
These are the pics from EBAY listing I bought here in CT.
I have already purchased a few parts starting with a 1971-72 kickstand for the 12 inch rim model, so in future I maybe able to upgrade wheels and now have to purchase another kickstand.
I purchased a universal gas tank off ebay in black, I plan to paint the blue fenders black to match.
also purchased new front springs were cheap on ebay, got bearings also on way from OldMiniBikes warehouse.
Last I bought a torque convertor cover and upper motor mount for said cover. [has hole about size of half dollar in bottom]
Still need a pull starter as you see and to go through carb first and check compression, to see if I should do rings or valve job.
