Gramp’s 1941 New World - Trying to get it running as a rat rod bike
Schwinn bicycles use brass to fillit weld the joints---except the war ear bikes (your new world) which were steel welded---See the welds are not of a yellow brass and the top finished welds are covered in that soft body led to "give" the Schwinn look. And when you used the wire wheel on those...- sam

Gramp’s 1941 New World - Trying to get it running as a rat rod bike
Forgot to say. 41s new worlds were not fillet brazed as other schwinns, they were steel welded and body lead was used to give them the Schwinn look. If you turn the frame over you will see the weld as they didn't bother to body lead the welds at the bottom of the BB.- sam

Paint on these bikes is very thin. If you try and "bring back the shine" You'll take the color off. Clean it good with mild soap & water. Then I'd try a past wax. The decals should be coated but again caution is advised. Copal oil varnish should be used but you no longer can buy it- sam
