You know, the more I look at bikes on Facebook, the more I’m starting to agree. That being said, there’s just as many butchered restorations
 
They say there's a buyer for anything, and it turned out I was the buyer of this mangled 1950 Snyder-built Montgomery Ward/Hawthorne frame. I've had multiple people tell me I bought a piece of junk, but that just made me determined to resurrect this bike and make it rideable again using a variety of equally mangled parts.

I managed to finish it just in time for the 15th annual Rat Rod Bikes.com Build Off. Not bad for a "dumpster bike."

I have a similar condition "rescue" I'm working on. Being a girls model, it's only "redeeming" value was/were the gothic fenders that were in only okay shape.
I've got an idea for her but I'm in idle mode until spring when I can paint again.
Oh yeah, Nice job BFTD
