1939 ChiCyCo Lady Lincoln Build

[EastsideSchwinn]

Here's the start of yet another project, and I'm thinking you might like to go down this rabbit hole with me.😆
We're building this one for my girl, as an opposite to my '37 Caddy DBR.

heres what I started with..

Was lucky enough to find a tank at the SoCal Cycle Swap.

Thanks to the wanted section on here, I found a springer for the Old girl..

I have something special in store for this heavy duty paperboy rack I found..

Had all the parts media blasted, shot the primer once I got home.

we decided on a color, and here it is in base.

I dont use stencils.. This a bit tedious but the inconsistency of the lines I feel makes it perfect 😁

my short cut mask job.

waiting for decals to come in before I shoot the clear. Still have the fenders and the fork legs I need to do.

as I mentioned, we're kinda building these as a set.. I'm hoping they'll look great together.

Quick update.. Repro Decals from Bicycle Bones arrived today, along with a few parts I ordered.

The frame and tank are ready for clear, but I still need to do some tapework on the fenders and fork for the 2nd color..

Made a little progress over the weekend, I had the Lincoln pinstriped. After going back forth a bit, I Decided to go with a red enamel, rather than black. I think the gamble paid off and I'm loving the look of it! 😊

That looks awesome.
What's the reason for applying pinstripes on top of the clear coat and not under?
