Swamp thing.

I just found this laying down in a swamp out in the deep country. I'm trying to decide if a complete restore would be worth it. I believe it is a mid 50's Hiawatha Strato-Chief. The other side of the bike is the side that was laying down, and it is completely rust.

Make it a two face bike, leave one side rust and the other nice. lol

I think "two face swamp thing" is a great idea, what a cool story too. Go for it and let us know what you decide to do

post a pic of the dark side when you get a chance so we can see how bad it is.

Thats actually a pretty cool idea, ill put a pic up of the other side shortly.

heres the swampy side!

 

[outskirtscustoms]

that's not all that bad, I've seen worse. Restore or two face it. I think the double side theme would be cool.

I still vote for two face.... either way its a neat find good luck w/ her

 

[outskirtscustoms]

Definitely a sweet find, Might want to throw a bottle of WD-40 at it and get the connections loose and see where you are from there.

 

[Jsheetz]

thanks for the input guys, its looking like im going to be throwing a whole mess of WD-40 at it.
