Look Ma, No Hands!
Picked this up today. The tank was spot welded and the mounting piece became unattached. But they still had the tank. Must have happed a long time since the paint on the tank is excellent but the paint on the bike is not so great. Anyone know if JB Weld can do the job? Also, any idea of the year of this Montgomery Ward bike?
