*Colson clipper project*

[Nickinator]

So I got home and instantly started working on my clipper, tearing it down and tracking down missing parts. I purchased this from the auction that was listed 2 weeks back and couldn't be happier! the bike is extremely solid and a good project. most would see this bike and think (another restoration project I dont need. guess again my friends its being resurrected. shawn can vouch for that.

Was that an oxalic acid bath? I can't imagine you steel wooled that to this point.

 

[Nickinator]

a crap load of the following,

naval jelly
000 steel wool
magic erasers
paper towels
brass wheels
pb blaster
and a lot of time

Was that an oxalic acid bath? I can't imagine you steel wooled that to this point.

Do you just brush the naval jelly on the whole frame? Is there a certain brand you like which doesn't damage paint? It's the one thing I haven't added to my arsenal yet.
