Vintage mini bike restoration project start.

Hello YouTubers, My latest restoration project a late 60's early 70's Cheeftah MB1100 mini bike. The frame has been sand blasted, primed, and finished in Apple red gloss. The engine going on this bike is a "old school" Briggs & Stratton 5 horse "flathead", which has been broken down rebuilt, stripped, and re-finished in gloss black, with silver accents, and topped off with a fresh engine decal kit-that will be features in another video-COMING SOON!

This mini bike restoration is sentimental for me because this frame was given to me by my late Uncle Ed when I was 8 years old-I am now 38 :-) My father had kept this frame in his barn for many years, and has recently gotten in to mini bikes as well so I got it to restore to its former glory.

Enjoy the video in HD if you can and stay tuned for more restoration videos of this Cheeftah MB1100. Please feel free to rate, and comment as well :-)

This is a cool mini bike. When I was a kid, I had an orange Atlas with a Lauson motor.
