1954 SCHWINN 3 SPEED JAGUAR BUILD

-
Started assembly today here are a few pictures. I should be picking up the rims this week I had the new spokes put in. I am trying to use as many of the original parts as I can.

Fitting the fender, since I havent found a Jaguar front fender I picked up a set of re-pop balloon fenders at Ann Arbor this year if figured for $30 I wouldent be out much but they are not for truss rods. Has anyone ever modified fenders this way if so how did you do it.

Coming along nicely. Have you been able to find the 54 (only) seat tube decal? It's somewhat different than the 55 model.

Here's Panmaker's 54.

Not yet I have to get the seat post decal, the top tube decals, and the front fork decals. Do you know a good place to purchase them. And still looking for an ordinal front fender that is the needle in a haystack but hope to some day I will find one.
 
Mocked up with the tires, still have to find some red grips run the cables and put the decals on.

I have yet to find or see the 1954 Jag seat post decals. Doubt they have been or will be reproduced since it was a one year one model issue. The 55 style has been reproduced and someone with pin stripe skills could possibly finish off the outer pins that continue up and curl back. The fork pins were hand painted not a decal but Bicyclebones has recently made a decal for those.

Here's the 55 style.
