1966 Schwinn Panther

This is a fun one.. i like finding the old rusty ones and spending time bringing them back and riding them with my kids. Always wanted a coppertone Panther and this one was perfect… a lot of work and a fine balance to not over restore and keep the patina.

I would find another middleweight parts bike with some nice fenders...

Loving the different color tones on the frame now it's a little bit cleaned up.

Nice! You got to that one just in time.

I think I have a set of chrome fenders. No racks or light though.

That's one of the bikes that I've wanted for a long time that has still eluded me after all these years in the hobby, Congrats for a nice find !

I like the look of your shop. It is not for show things get done there.

Made some progress… haven’t dialed in the 2=speed hub yet, but otherwise I’m quite pleased with it.
