$5 garage sale find(gonna be fun)

isn't that the one that takes the slim tank? there is a bunch of those tanks on ebay right now.

I wasn’t sure. I see brackets for a tank, and I’ve seen the 66s with slimline tanks

That RB2 Bendix hub is one of the best single speeds they made. Gary

I plan on digging into that today, was going to use strip ease on the rim, but wasn’t sure if it would dull the chrome.

That looks like a fun project. You might get lucky and get that yellow paint off and have some nice Coppertone paint underneath. Wet sand with some fine sandpaper, 0000 steel wool with WD-40 or paint stripper? See what happens.
And if you don't like the results it would be a cool cruiser with a slimline tank and painted the color of your choice. Yellow? LOL...

Well maybe the head badge will stay yellow

Handle bars and grips look decent. Not sure why grips have the pinkish hue on top.
