Thanks for the reply. Check it out when you get time and holler back! Mick

I sold the Huffy to a friend for $20 the day after I got it and have regretted it ever since. He's worth it though. He's been slowly restoring it since and still needs a fender. It is a "peaked" fender. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mick

Yea, That does sound good.

That stem came out looking great. I like the tank idea so far but personally I'm not feeling (yet) the other filler behind the seat. I think It's the different attitude (?) than the tank (vertical vs horizontal). Before you buy those Schwinn bars take a look here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=77406...

Hek Yea! That looks sweet.

I like your new tires and your original seat. I think I have the same bike. I love the heavy frame. The cantilever tubes are an 1/8" larger than my Murray's. I don't have a badge either but searching for Huffy Camaro Bike I saw a couple with tanks and a small decal over the tank light. Not many...

I was thinking that and also it's probably hard to find a little leftover paint from someone's project. I actually have one PM out right now about a fork. Thank You, Mick P.S. Do you have a fork? :) I still don't have a pic of the blem but I'm am riding a little now.

Re: 198X Murray Monterey I just realized I haven't shown a pic of my new black crank and old sprocket, that I'm so proud of. Oh yea, new chain too. The sprocket came from a 24" ladies bike and It has a few less teeth than stock.

Re: 198X Murray Monterey I needed to scrape off the old "decal" darts at the transition from red neck to maroon frame tubes. I finally made some new decals for that. They are inverted from traditional but they cover more paint chips and I like them.

You got me to wondering if my tank was original so I looked at the '66 catalog online. The Panther and the Fleet are touted as having a tank with built-in horn. Bikes are fun! Mick

Got it put together now.

Update; Now I have a front axle, thanks to the previous owner. He also brought me some tires and tubes. I now have 5 used S-7 tires and tubes and not a matching set in the bunch. :P

I like it! Thanks Guys!

BB 18389 -------- I don't think there's another digit under the fender brace? Thanks, Mick

RS, Thanks for the link. Great info and resources there. Like you said, It's not going to be cheap, for touching up an old rusted bike. Realistically, I think their prices are good for a restoration job. Maybe I can trade someone for a leftover ounce.
