Stars and Stripes Grifter Project!

[kristian100]

I have recently completed a restoration of a raleigh grifter. I have converted a prismatic blue grifter into a stars and stripes. The whole project took about 3 months! I had a lot of trouble getting the cotter pin out and eventually had to drill it out! Here are some pics of the finished project
