I picked up this Spaceliner last year and for one reason or another didn't have time to work on it past tearing it down and stripping the rattle-can black paint from it. My wife wanted it to "pop" so last weekend I hit it with Cherry Red, then while the paint was wet threw ultrafine glitter on...

Never rains and then it pours... this popped up on CL this morning and I couldn't say no. Western Flyer Cosmic Flyer, rattle canned, seats busted, tires are rotted but the frame is solid and straight and the wheels can be saved. The seller pitched in the CCM Elan behind it as well... that's in...
