Face lift for my 76 Stingray

[Schwinn1776]

Cleaned up very nicely

Special thanks to @coasterbrakejunkie1969 your recommendation worked like a charm. Wish I could have kept the original bars but they were too far gone.

All done on this one!

I see you went with the early wide bars. Are those Wald bars or the unstamped ones used on the first year bikes? I'm not so sure Wald didn't make the bars for schwinn. Nice job on the clean up, the nice thing about the mid late '70s Stingrays is they ride exactly like the early bikes at a fraction of the cost.
