Here's the bike responsible for my newest hobby. Inherited Dad's 'ol '57 Schwinn Hornet and wanted to make it my own. As you can see, Dad already had it flat-tracked by taking off the original tank, fenders, racks, etc. and flipped the handle bars. Also had a 'custom' blue paint job(looked like house paint). Anyway, here's a before pic with some progression pics along the way. Still not really done, but done for now.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge to help me along the way...
