Restoring my Dad's 1970 Rupp MiniBike | Removing the Crusty Chrome

My Dad and the family rode heck out of this 1970 Rupp Scrambler in the 1970's, then it sat in a shed for decades. Once my older brother was able to ride they stripped it down, primed it and painted it green over the original Dark Blue Metallic paint and changed out the motor for a new one. Then I rode it and it's been sitting for 15 years. Now it's time to return her back to her original glory, back to blue, with the original silver accents on the Gas Tank/Number Plate. Also rechromed parts and many new items to have her ride like new again.
In this video i start breaking her down, including the wheels and spokes, handlebars, suspension, rear swing arm and the Torque Converter.

Greetings from Rochester NY. Great video. Can’t wait to see the rest in this series and the finished Scrambler. I’m just starting on a 71 Hustler so your videos will be a huge help.

Thanks! Have fun with it, I'm already missing the weekly tinkering as I chipped to get her done for the Summer. If there's any insight you come across feel free to drop a comment so we can all learn.
