Hello, first post.

Just thought i'd post a couple of pic's of my old mini bike from 1966.
Built in Jr high metal shop and at home with help from my dad.

Same here in the Th grade metal shop we made a small tin sugar/ flour scoop and used real lead solder to seal it up, and a hammered out aluminum ash tray . My 86 year old Mother still has both.
We were also allowed to make a screw driver with a poured molten aluminum handle had us use the casting sand and the teacher did the pouring of the metal. That was a cool shop but being ale to make a mini bike that was beyond the scope of our class but I would have loved the chance.

Searcher : Does that mean you are searching for this mini bike LOL or do you still have it ? Regardless it was a very nice project and I like the seat top materal.
I got my first running mini bike in 1966 but I was 22 years old and fresh out of the US Navy and 6 years later I owned my own mini bike & go kart store.
