This is a simple build that took far too long, but now it's finally done! (I did post some shots of this project in another thread quite a while back, but I can't seem to find it now *shrugs*)
First off, big thanks to Hooch for the frame: a 1961 Schwinn Hollywood that I bought from him many, many months ago. It's the pink one in the picture below:
Yes, that's a coat of pink housepaint. Needless to say, it couldn't remain that way, so a visit from the wire wheel had it down to bare metal in short order:
A coat of primer:
And then a topcoat of Nissan LeMans Sunset:
At this point, the project had stalled, but then a friend of mine saw the frame and decided that it was the bike for her. Leaping back into action, parts were ordered from Chaingang Lowrider (Thanks Curtis
) to finish it off and Voila! the finished ride:
I'm happy to report that she is thrilled with her new/old bike We'll be getting more and better photo's of it (along with my Jag MKIV) soon.
