Picked up this Sears Tank bike for 35$. I beleive it's a 63?
I plan to have this motorized in 3 weeks. I have the frame finished, now I have to do brakes, clutch ect.
I'm using a 148cc Briggs and Stratton 4 Stroke, single belt drive with suicide clutch. I removed the pedals, but will still be using the rear coaster brake. More photos will be up soon!
Opinions? I am thinking of not repainting it, but leaving the Patina on it. It's heavily rusted, but it's a nice reddish rust. But you can still see the original pin striping and Sears logo's. So I was thinking of just polishing the chrome, repainting the plastic cap on the lights creme and getting some nice white walls and leaving everything else the same. or should I paint it?
