1967 Stingray Deluxe Project

[marching_out]

Crisis averted. Started putting the headset back together and felt some resistance. Bigger wrench right?! Finally got my senses about me and took things apart. A piece of thread broke loose and started chewing the rest up. The funny thing is I had put this together and took it apart probably ten times during the cleaning process. I very carefully used a triangular file and a wood chisel to clean up the trailing thread. Luckily I was able to salvage things.

Life took over for a few weeks but I finally finished it up. Thanks to @jammer for the reflector and to @Huntingtonbikeguru for the spokes, head badge, and front axle. Rides fantastic.

Pedals and grips off. Took about 20 minutes to get the grips off. Had to let the WD40 drain down.

I'm always amazed at how much damage the Headbadges get.....

Very nice job! Great thread. Just picked up practically the same bike today for a winter project. Mine is worse than it looks in this pic.

First project in a while. I've got several bikes to choose from but this one trips my trigger right now. First Stingray I've owned.View attachment 1641488
Decided to do a first wash so I wasn't continually breathing chicken crap during tear down.

White over spray with a few spots of white house paint. And the first issue uncovered.

Stripped axles always seem to bring projects to a screeching hault…this is causing me frustration just looking at it
