Schwinn Breezey.. New Pics!

[kustomkulturebabe]

Hey guys, here's a simple build i've got going on.. 70's Schwinn Breeze. I just flaked it out and kandied it with PPG. Hard to really see how vibrant it is and the flake in the garage, i'll get more pics soon of it in the sun! Oh, and our 54' GMC truck project in the background =]

Flake/clear sanded down..

Kandied/cleared..

Re: Kustom 70's Schwinn Breeze in Progress..

nice. I'm liking the metal flake bikes that have been popping up. My library when I was a kid had a few George Barris Kustoms books. I looove the Rat Rod style, but old skool metalflake still gets me going too.

Well, today was a pretty productive day. I took apart an old springer fork i'm putting on the Breeze, soaked them in Lemon Juice and it removed about 95% of the rust. Seriously impressed, i wish i had before pics of how bad it looked. I also sprayed the fenders and the fork!
Let me know what you guys think of it so far! Still not done with the paint, adding lace over the fender and chain gaurd


The power of lemon juice! So happy with the results..

Holy sparkle! The before, during, and after collage of my fork..

The fenders, a little silver flaked mixed with Lil Daddy Roth Snowcaine flake.. Before&After

And pics of the frame & chain gaurd in the sun!

Lemme know what you guys think!

Thanks! Going to use the original rims which are 24'' and probably find some white walls for her..
Good looking bike and the placement of the lights lol

It's the coolest looking Breeze i've ever seen tho, never seen one customized Pretty happy how it's turning out, it's almost done!

I was just about the say the same thing. The bike looks great, but that fender gap is distracting.
