The bike has some nice paint but is still crusty in many ways. Needed a bike that I could throw a bike basket on for our annual cranks giving ride next Sunday November 9. We purchase can goods along the route and deliver them to spots that donate them to less fortunate people for the holidays. Hope we can fill this basket up a few times. Rob.

I posted this as crusty? It was a little too nice to be crusty. I can do better...

39 Shelby built Hiawatha bare metal with linseed oil treatment. Another one of my favorite riders.

Come on guys! Let's see some real crusticles! I wanna see more rust than paint! Flakes of chrome and nickel! Pits so deep the overall structural integrity is questionable but you ride it anyway!

The pitting is the best!, " go ahead and bump it, it will add character "

my 46.i dubbed it rr46.it was so crusty,we couldn't determine the actual color,so it got the name of " radiant rust ".

I almost forgot about this thread. Perfect place for my crustiest bike, 38 Cadillac badged Shelby. Looks perfect next to my buddy Glen's 51 Plymouth Gasser.

At first glance it looks like a candidate for an Oxalic acid bath but on second thought it looks great the way it is.
Nice one!
