Restoring my 1940 Elgin with "God Bless America" theme

[Gabriel De Jesus Rivera]

Welcome to this forum! Sounds like a great restoration plan and reminds me of my 40-41 sapphire blue with white accents and red pinstriping Hawthorne.....my patriotic, most recent acquisition. Be sure to upload some photos of your bike and good luck with the restoration!

Thanks BB Rider just getting the hang to the forum bud.

Hey Gabriel, the Elgin's looking fantastic! And it seems like it'll be ready to ride on the 4th. Can't wait to see pics of the completed bike!

Wow!!

Looks awesome!! Great choice of colors for frame, fenders, coat/skirt guards and tank wrap ties it all together. Also like what you did with the chain guard too. Thanks for posting photos of the project along the way. Ride it with pride!!

Pretty cool looking.
What happened to your Elgin chain ring?
