1939 Bare Metal Colson

-

Wore out three sets of tires already!
My tastes have changed over the years from restoration... to whatever I could get (cheap)... to currently...original.
But, I always wanted to try a bare metal project.
Started this a while back, but life got in the way.

1939 Colson out of Kansas, I got a kick out of the sellers remark about there being something wrong with the front wheel.

Had it setup as a rider at work with a 3 speed Nexus for a while till I got the wheel and fenders done.

Finally had some time this past week to get everything back on.
The frame, fork and sheet metal parts have a coat of clear paint in order to keep the rust at bay. (I know...sacrilegious to some)
I still have to do the fender braces, but these aftermarkets will have to do for now.
Added a rack and chain guard I had leftover.
As always, still more to do, but it's satisfying to be close to the finish line.
