Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Well it hit the high 50's here in Va. Beach today. So I decided to do a cleanup on the 56 Eldorado.
Lots of pitting in the paint and rims. The rack will need more than what I know how to do.
Washed the bike. 0000 wool'd the fenders and chromed parts. Waxed the painted areas the best I could to hopefully prevent further rust. Aired the dryrotted tires. Which are oversized at 26X2.125. The wheels will need truing as I have a slight wobble on the rear.
All in all it looks good.
heres the before cleanup pic
here are the after shots
Then there is the rack that needs work. Lots of rust. Any ideas on getting rid of rust / pitting without painting?
