I pulled this out a field in Mustang OK several months back. Turned out is was a 1950 Schwinn (possible Panther). Front fork was not original and after I pulled it, I realized it once had a locking springer. Not sure on direction yet.

Sorry guys, I needed to put my project to the side for a few weeks. I had a paying customer who wanted their sons 1986 redline restored. First time I have done a BMX bike. After blasting it, powdercoat, massive elbow grease to get off all of the layers of spray paint and replacing a few parts I was able to give it back to them today. NOW back to my project.

Finally finished media blasting it yesterday. To paint or not to paint??? What do you think? If so; Color? Just use clear coat over the way it stands?
Gonna use my NOS Lightning Dart tires. I will be using the standard forks with truss rods.
