Not all the way done yet, but couldn't wait to post to the pics of this awesome one!
Chain still needs to be cleaned. Unsure if I'm going to use the pedals that came on it and then the chain guard and rear rack need a couple tack welds done. Added the coke bottle grips some bontrager hanks Other than that, I'm fairly certain everything else is original.

Wow! That's a beauty! Love the way the rims are painted.

Yeah, unforturnately a lot of the paint is gone. I did a oxalic acid bath on the frame and all the other parts and it seem to work great. But the rims it seemed to take some of the paint with it. Not that the paint was amazing to begin with but still came out pretty good.
 
Thanks guys! I should have everything 100% back together in a couple days and added some tear drop pedals. I'll post a couple more pics.
