1936 Elgin Bluebird - Progress!

Actually started work on the Lindy again today!

Cool man! I love Lindys, I have this hanging in my wall.

I can't wait to see it. I'm sure you will do an amazing job on it.

Ok, I think I'm done kinda. Made some trim tabs to hold that eyebrow in place, painted the rack, and added one of Joe's fender ornaments.

For nostalgic purposes, I chose to leave the saddle and bars that were on the bike when it was pulled out of that old barn. I like the idea that they were likely used by the original owner.

I opted for some busted original grips. Still not too proud of that battery door latch mechanism, maybe I'll improve that later.
