1947 Schwinn offer up project

[Durfmeyer]

I recently purchased this from offer up missing the front fender and front wheel. I cleaned it up a bit and found the correct front fender wheel. Not a big project but was fun to do the last few weeks. Probably going to be selling it and looking for another one.

A clean simple model; the basics. Did you just end up replacing both fenders?

I ended up finding a set of fenders on here, however I only ended up using the front one. Rear is original to the bike

Beautiful, I love seeing a new bike brought back to life!
What did you use to bring back the 'glow' of the color?

I cleaned up the paint with some CLR cleaner and then used linseed oil. I’m pretty happy with how it came out.
