Looks like a Manco to me.

Yeah looks like the Manco, but the bigger thunderkat version. The streaker is real tiny

Ring one up for MAC.. What is a swap shop? Is that a flea market or swap meet?

Thanks guys. Swap Shop is a local AM radio station (1430) where people call in or e-mail what they want to buy, sell, or trade in the Morganton, NC area. Week days from 9:00-10:00 am.

they had one in my area recently for sale like the red manco. 6.5 that bad boy. that would make it nice. And add a disk brake caliper on the drive sprocket.

It's actually called the "thunderbird" I used to have one but the frame didn't do it for me. (looks)

Here's what it would look like with a couple of engines. The original Tecumseh probably still looked best. Clone hangs out one side a bit.

I didnt want to mention that but the frame design looks weak.

Your loosing it, I thought you would bitch about the pizza sprocket.

Oh ya the sprocket. I just dont like the large sprockets. they cover to much wheel, they hit the ground rocks or whatever, look bad, I rather tav or jack shaft it. There is one other way that you can get by with one, paint it the same color as the tire, but just dont let the shock bolt rub a silver line on it.
