I have got alot done since my last post. Still can't get over how good this color looks. I ended up using a regular nut with lock washer for bolting together the frame instead of the more modern nylon lock nut. Gives it more of that old school look if you ask me and bike will mainly be for show.
Next installed everything on the frame and fork as well as installed the double headed Indian Carlisle's on the Taco wheels. Super happy with how the wheels and tires turned out together. Hard to believe the tires are 45+ years old.
Also received my water transfer decals for the Briggs from Mini Bike Paul on eBay. Decals went on very easy and he even sends an extra practice decal so you can get the hang of applying them. Thanks to the numerous people who suggested them to me on here and social media. They really look good installed and look just like the originals.
