Late 1920's ? Elgin rat rod build

[RustyTank]

Not much to look at at the moment, but I've had this bike for over a year now and finally decided to tear it apart. I should be done in a few days, hopefully.

Heres a sneak peak of the frame, I brushed paint stripper on to get most of the paint off then sanded it to show the layers of paint over the years, then threw on a few coats of clear.

Added some fenders and a seat, stripped a few layers of house paint and did a little sanding, then clear coat. Rides like a dream, picked up the original chain guard and time period correct light for the front fender that I'm dying to put on but just got em earlier today.
