38 Henderson Project

-
Got this 1938 Schwinn Henderson last week and started to work on it today. Was very happy with it because its one of my dream bikes and still am but, it needs some help. Chains bent, forks bent a little, and theres a strange random weld on the rear hub. Needs a chainguard and pedals as well. Even looks like someone tried to pry the badge off at one point but couldn’t cause the screws had no threads. Got it for a good price though so hoping it will be all ready without putting to much money into it. Got the right chainring for it to. Don’t know what model this is and would love to know more about it.

You need this book!! I love all the details & pictures.
Looks like to me it is a model BA 97
 
Alright back with progress on the 38. Got the correct chainring for it, rebuilt the original pedals that were covered with tar in spots, straightened the fork, and repair the stem that was broken at the bottom. Have a chainguard on the way and the wheels are being fixed. Thanks!

looking at that fork I would bet a bearing fell down in there somehow and wore out the fork. is that a matching damage I see on the head tube of the frame?
Yeah i was looking at the headtube aswell theres no deep scratches in that it though. looks to just be paint flaking off.
 
Its all back together! Chainguard is on the way as is the chain and just need the bolt to hold the front fender on. Not sure if i should get cream walls or black walls the ones on it now are original and starting to crack. Pretty happy with it! Let me know what you think.
