That damn Goof Off sure made a mess.

I...like big blocks and I cannot lie...
Going with Torrington 10's I picked up from @Danny the schwinn freak. Rebuilt and blocks soaking in soapy water.

And for the wheel set...I've never pulled a hub apart that's been as calcified. Literally the only thing that came out was the axle. I had to fish out everything else that caked in hardened grease. All parts soaking now...

Nice. Can't wait to see them done!

Finished the pedals...

I did some work on the front fender having to mod a lower front fender brace as all I had was a post war donor. It will have to do for now. If someone has a pre war brace that you're willing to sell then let me know.

Here is how she sits tonight...
