Title: 1979 Copper Mongoose
Post by: RoyalTrux on December 28, 2010, 03:54 PM

Just tought I'd share some building pictures with everybody :)

Here is what I started with...
Good rather clean frame but drop outs where bend big time.
And this was from being badly packed during shipping.
just frame in cardboard box with no cushening.

After being straightend they where still a bit narrow so I had to get them pushed a tat outside.
