Hey guys, stumbled across this forum while looking for more info on my bike project and its the perfect place to ask my question(s):
First, I was given this bike by my grandfather awhile ago and have the plans on making it a rat bike. Not that it really matters to me but I would like to know what make/model it is. I believe the chain guard says 'Thundersomethingorother.' Any ideas?
Secondly, whats the best way to strip the rust to bare metal, short of sand/media blasting? I tried rust stripper, wire wheels, etc. and to no avail. You can see the front fender I sanded down but it took forever to get it that way. Any other suggestions?
Thanks, guys, I look forward to your help and input w/ the project--
