I killed my other idea, and now I'm using this one.
I have this Murray F5 Elimator. I plan on getting some mags for it and BMXizing it.

I'm starting with this.

Re: Ratty racer (name change)

Unless you're able to powdercoat it yourself, I think you'll have to change your plans and paint it otherwise. Build-off rules.
Sounds like a cool build though! :D

Here's your chance to build the ultimate Rat Rod Bike.

Follow the rules below and have fun! We're keepin' this thing pretty loose so don't get yourself in a knot. :shock:

Participants should use their thread as a journal including write ups and photos.

1. You can only enter one bike in the build off (can change bikes once if needed)
2. Start a new post and use the bike name as the Subject.
3. Must use factory frame....no altering of original frame structure
(grinding off fender tabs and cutting seat tube height is okay, just no major frame design changes).
4. Bike must not already be built.
5. Must include before, progress, and after photos (all in one thread please)
6. Bike must be ridable.
7. Use any parts you like....mo rat = mo bettah!
8. Parts can be attached any way you wish (includes welding).
9. Paint must be applied by builder.
10. Don't ask a bunch of goofy questions trying to get around the rules...just build a cool bike.
11. KEEP IT CHEAP...remember...IT'S A RAT ROD!!!!

You must post your completed bike in the "FINISHED RRBBO5" forum by midnight, August 2, 2010.

DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS POST.

Now get ta buildin'!

Hmm... I was going to take it to the auto shop, the owners real nice. I wonder if it would count if he told me how to do it and let me do it..... I'll have to ask rat rod

so I'm sick.. Again...
But here's a pic of the type of rims I'm getting:

Re: Ratty racer (name change)

I have been looking for one of those... rode one as a kid... that is a good clean survivor... dang the luck
 
Re: Ratty racer (name change)

Another Murray Eliminator! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. I don't have much of a clue about what direction I'm going in. Mine is a '77 or '78. Maybe it should be a disco star?
 
Jist a lIttle update. I'm waiting for some parts, and I decided to take of the rim covers. You couldn't see it, but on the other side the cover was like cut in half and all screwed up. Do I'm thinging about leaving the wheels how they are, with the rims painted blue.
