The wife thought her letters on the tank looked kinda "boring" haha so I spiffed them up a bit. Glad I did also.

I haven't posted any updates for quite some time now.. Been super busy with work.. Here is the wife's starlet almost completely done. What do y'all think? I will post some better pics in the light.. That was on the basement and the pics aren't all to bright.

I need a delta headlight to finish it off.. Anybody have one for sale for a decent price hit me up.. Working and lense is important.. Don't care about rust I'm painting it. Thanks

Where did you source the seat?

I got the seat from eBay.. It was 19.99 with grips and pedals.. Couldn't pass it up..

Re: Schwinn starlet? 1955?

Stripped frame as far as possible with 4" grinder. Needs a little hand work and then it's going to get painted. Is the brazing common? I kinda like it raw..

you say you used a 4" grinder what disk did you use ive got a rusty panther i planed on being patina but i wana clean it up and make it look nice, any tips to remove all and any rust? i dont have a lot of money, just basic tools like wrenches and hammer and ect.. i can arrow toold though like the grinder, help , me out i would appritiate it 8)

i was also on a budget, but yeah i used a 4 inch angle grinder and a wire wheel. it worked pretty well for the large open areas, but hand sanded the hard to reach areas. good luck
