Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Now that I'm done on all the military bike projects that I had it's time to work on the Jet Rider I was given last month. Here are before pictures. I do not intend restoration but would appreciate input on how far to take the refurb. My primary goal is getting it in top mechanical condition but cosmetically how far would you take it?
There was rust in places like on the fenders and the previous/original owner had used silver paint in creative ways to cover it up as can be seen on the rear fender. This was done decades ago. Leave it as is?
Another issue is the fender light that is gutted. Rebuild or leave the way it is? I have a repop light that I could take the inners and lens from to rebuild it.
Polish chrome or leave a bit crusty? Same with paint that is in remarkable condition.
