First build, I call her "El Ratador"

[Doc_Bos81]

Followed the forum for a few years and finally decided to join and share my first build. From what I can gather the original bike was a 1960's AMC branded flight liner built by Murray. Wanted to enter the build off but failed to read the rules.... but I'm gearing up for next year. Spent about a year collecting and fabricating parts, I'm pretty proud of the result.

For a first build I say you have a good sense of rat aesthetics. Nice!

I know CeeBee did something similar for a bubble tank near the beginning of the build off.

I love Ratador!!!! Clean and crispy rat!!!
