1965 Vespa Allstate

So check it out I got this scooter last year in trade for a 50cc pocket bike worth about $50 bucks to me :o . She was in bad shape when I got her :( but check out what I did to here to bring her back to life. ;)

So here is how she started out.

So I got busy stripping her down to bare metal , did some body work and primed her for Paint.

I than built a small paint booth in the back of our warehouse and began to do the painting . First the white base coat.

Image
Image

Then the racing stripes were added.

Image
Image
Image
Image

Then I added the numbers 53 "Herbie"

Image

I than worked on the back cowls doing them in gloss black

Image
Image

Then I semi assembled the scoot before the detail paiting

Image

Then I flamed the rear cowls and cleared the entire scooter

Image
Image
Image

Then I went over the engine that I will be keeping stock for now. It ran great and only had 6,000 miles on it.

Image
Image
Image

Then I reinstalled engine , front forks , ran all new cables , installed new brakes and white wall tires.

Sorry the date in the picture is wrong the build was just finished this past summer this pic is from the first ride I took .

Thanks for checking out my build . ;D

She is sweet. Turns heads every where I go . I really took a chance with the paint scheme , but it worked when it all came together. More on this scoot later.
