My first car 72 Scamp
So when I was a kid my dad picked up a beat up mini bike, disassembled it, and had the wheels and frame powder coated. Had a seat made as the old one was shot. Then as many projects do, it was put to the side in favor of others. Recently my dad gave it for me and my my youngest to finish up. We always imagined a Super Bee theme when I was younger and stuck with that idea. We put in a little 3 HP Predator engine, found a clutch and throttle, replaced all the hardware, and got it dialed in. Just needs the chain guard modified to fit and then painting of the seat springs. The badges finally came in and we’ve been having a blast with it. Growing up going to the Nationals and seeing the guys riding around on mini bikes always made me want one for myself. Was a neat little project for me and the boy. Grandpa is happy it finally got done 20+years later.
