1962 Firebolt

[Dieselcowboy]

Im wanting to restore my dads 1962 Columbia fire bolt. It currently looks like this. wanting to put chrome where chrome should be and make this back to show room if possible. If anyone can help with my missing parts please let me know. Thanks

Here is a photo off of the interwebs that looks mostly correct, not sure about the stem and handle bars or seat.

Here's a pic of my '61. It's all original with the added Cadet speedo. Good luck with your resto.

I would buy a complete bike with everything in good shape also.
