35 Schwinn street rod.

Ground up media blast, many frame and fork repairs. The theme is grey and metallic. Thanks for the cabe and the cabers!

I have this grey and metallic 35 Schwinn up and running now, it's not complete, but starting to look like what I am after...sort of boardtrack, sort of custom, sort of rat..

Wow, a lot of ground clearance! I bet someone was klunking it back in the 70s!

No doubt, it was a trashed frame, bent forks and trusses...she is pretty smooth now...not perfect but good for a rattle can job! I drilled a larger diameter hole in the front fork ends to help with axle alignment and fitting of the truss rod. Worked great.

Some new pics of this 35 Moto custom project, more to do, but I took it for a roll today!

That's really nice...feels like a real smooth rider just looking at the pics.

Overall really nice ride, smokin' truss rods, like that style quite a bit. Like the clean stripped down look.

I have a similar Shelby I bought a few years ago, already rodded.

I like the tank on yours, the rear fender is custom too I see. Sweeet!
