The bill was $235. Don't know if that is reasonable. I just went to this shop because it was local and even tho they only had about 3 yelp reviews, their worked looked good. I don't regret it. Pacific Polishing

I wanted to get the whole bike done, including the tank and rear rack but the cheapest powder coat quote I got was about $250. The Amazon paint kit was a good deal for $100. I’ve already spent more than what the bike is worth lol

Thank you! Thank you! :) It’s a Candy Red. I got it from this site... Candy Red I found a 1 pint kit with everything you need, including a 2k clear, on Amazon... Amazon Kit

The Resto-Mod is coming along nicely. This was my first time ever spray gun painting and I made a few errors along the way but was able to correct them. Also, had a local shop do some chrome work on some parts and I think they came out amazing. I know this isn’t anywhere close to the...

I'm excited for this. I just got into "restoring" classic bikes and excited to see what this swapmeet is all about. Hopefully I have my Flightliner ready by then for a ride!

Thats going to be a nice project. Looks like its in very good condition. Good luck with the restore :) I also have a girls Flightliner I haven't touched but will be working on after I finish this project.

That's what I heard too. A gloss black base then chrome on top of that.

Looking for the chrome style Flightliner chainguard like the photos below. Preferably in decent condition.

Self Etch primer applied and ready for paint...

Thank you! I will keep this in mind but last night I purchased these Convex glass lenses which should hopefully barely fit. If not then I will definitely be reaching out. Convex Glass Lens 40mm

Still have a lot of sanding to do but I'm excited how the chrome on the lens trim came out. Need to find some domed lenses. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I was thinking possibly a watch lens, but I think that will interfere with the bulb.

Its been over two months since I've worked on this project. Had some free time these past few days to do some work. Stripped the paint to bare metal and now on to applying some lightweight body filler to some deep scratches on the frame and topping it off with some self etching primer.

Not far at all. It’s still disassembled. We are remodeling the house and my workspace is being used up as storage for now so haven’t had time to clean up and work on the bike. Decided to at least put some time into it and work on the taillight housing instead. Should hopefully have time in the...

Actually, lights came in today. Did a quick wire up. Running the lights using a power bank.

Just an update. Haven’t really been putting too much time into this resto-mod but finally had this past weekend free to make small progress. Designed the taillight housing in SolidWorks and 3D printed it. The lenses came off a Delta Hi-Fin Twin Taillight. This was supposed to be the prototype...

Looking for a Delta Hi-Fin Twin Taillight

I know this is a long shot, looking for a Flightliner twin taillight like the photos below. Even if its just the housing with no lenses.

Thank you! Going to try this right now.

Please help!!! :sweatsmile: This is as far as i got...

As for the rear taillight. I know they are extremely hard to find. Especially the twin taillight. But it looks to me that the tail light lenses are the same as the Delta Hi-Fin Twin Tail lights? Was thinking of possibly picking one of those up and 3D print the housing.

An updates. Bike has been disassembled and currently in an oxalic acid bath. Was not able to disassemble the springer. Have no idea how it comes off. There is so much rust so hope this bath helps. I know im going to be scrubbing for hours.

OMG thats an amazing resto-mod. That is inspiring. The chrome looks flawless.

I have no idea how you guys get these catalogs but i'm loving all the support here. Thank you! Mine is definitely going to be a resto-mod. I love the patina and the vintage look on bikes but with this Flightliner, i wanted to look fresh off the shelf with a few updated modifications. I need...

Thank you I found it! Had so much grime I overlooked it. The photo is hard to tell but it says M00 502 46060 93218 Correct me if i'm wrong but i think I know the 502 is for Sears and the 46060 is the catalog # and 93218 is the identification #. Is there any way to determine the actual year...

Also, i looked for the serial numbers on the dropout and i was not able to find them. If they are not there is there anywhere else they might be? I looked everywhere but i could not honestly see anything anywhere on the bike.

Thank you for the oxalic acid recommendation. I will be trying that on the chrome parts. I just placed my amazon order and will probably work on it this weekend. I was thinking of having the frame, fork, tank and rack sandblasted and powder coated. I got a quote for $240 for all parts. Don't...

First ever restoration project. I believe all parts are original. Except the tank, that I bought separate. I’m excited to take this journey and can’t wait to get working on this. Any restoration tips are welcomed!

Looking for a Mens Flighliner Tank. Any color.
