I got this bike from my Dad about 20 years ago. It was painted Ford blue, by the 'restorer' in Missouri. I did a little sanding and I can see some John Deer green under that. I'm thinking of progressing towards a Black Phantom type of restoration. I've done cars and homes but not really messed with bikes in a long time. I'm thinking of doing the paint, straighten out the fenders for now, go thru the mechanicals, new tires. Then start buying parts as the budget allows.
I did decode the serial number and it was built 8/03/59. But looks to have a 1940 chain guard.
Any insight or comments are appreciated.
