1941 Schwinn Dx

Thought I'd share some pics of my '41 DX I picked up recently. Here's some before, during, and after pics. There isn't a whole lot of paint left on it, but I wanted to clean up what was there.

Glowing results. What did you use for the clean up?
Love the ammo bling.... did it fit over the plastic cap?

Those blue tire really set that bad boy off. Good work.

I used Krud Kutter Rust Remover and Inhibitor with 0000 steel wool. (Saw another post on here doing the same with great results so I decided to try it) I would do a small section, and wipe it off. Some areas had to be gone over a couple times.
As far as the ammo bling, yes I found a plastic cap that fits nicely inside the spent casing. I made a bunch of them and put a set on each of the bikes in my collection. I also made extra I plan to try to sell.

Thanks, I figured since there's not much paint left, a splash of color on the tires would look cool

Thanks, it rides better than it looks!

IRIDESCENT TIRES!
THEY REALLY POP OUT.
SORRY TO SEE THAT NOT MUCH OF THE PAINT IS LEFT.
BUT,I AM SURE THE BIKE WILL BE AN EYE STOPPER.
ENJOY THE RIDE!
