Re: It's parked! '71 Kool Krusty Manty Ray
Here's the status of the Manta. It's 100% torn down and everything has been cleaned and polished. Replacement crank and sissy bar courtesy of QueasyRider. Wheel hoops just came in today from a member over on the Cabe. Frame paint is a solid 10 footer with some old, obviously Schwinn mix touchup paint. So this bike was obviously cared for at one point before it fell into disrepair.
GTComa, the serial is CG080632; March of '71.

Looking Good! I can't wait to see the finished product. I think I would feel happy to display that original paint bike! They are only original once!Jpromo said:Here's the status of the Manta.

Well a few weeks and some era correct chrome pieces later, I have a wonderful riding Manta Ray that looks decent to boot!
Many thanks to QueasyRider for helping me acquire several parts to replace the more dissipated chrome pieces, a member over on the cabe gave me a good price on a few front wheels for donor S-5 hoops, and a stroke of luck got me some nice, correct handlebars from a pick down the street and a fiver.
