Thanks guys! Even though I had to use a few aftermarket parts, I'm pretty happy with the results. Kinda feels like I brought something back from the dead.
I think these bikes will fit into their neighborhood very well. I guarantee they will get some use.
Chains just came in today. Hope to get the other brace for the Jaguar rack soon, and I still need to figure out the correct mounting for the child's seat (it's jerry rigged right now). Other than that, they're done.
I will post some pics of the finished product in a couple of days.
Just got the chains on and took 'em for a ride. They both ride really nice. It's pretty cool to think that that's the first time they've been ridden in years.
I still haven't figured out a good way to mount the child's seat (still jerry rigged), and the brace for the Jaguar rack didn't come yet... Either way, Santa will deliver them tonight.

They're alive! It feels good to see these bikes back on the road.
Thanks everyone for all the support! I really appreciate the opportunity to share my project.
