Never look a gift Schwinn in the mouth...

[Saving Tempest]

Thanks to Bicyclebones and @Beeler2927 for the chainring!

No horn in the tank, hence the plug and one for Germaine as I prefer a tank on my Hornet, not a hornet in my tank.

Who can paint the light cover properly for me, I am not going to try, I have a Ph.D in Klutz? I want it BLACK with the bezel and ridge in bare metal

I believe a number of us could. Do you have any talented CABE'rs near? V/r Shawn

Shawn, it's 5:38 am here and I don't know, just thought I'd ask

Besides that, I also have a straightbar tank with two holes in the bottom, then it needs paint. I'm an industry waiting to happen, no doubt.

The Ford bodyshop doesn't have enough time.

JB Weld works well for filling extra holes like that if you want to DIY.

 

[Saving Tempest]

I can do that, but I don't do well with detailed painting.

I could never finish a model car without managing to melt one of the axles with the glue either.

I've had an offer to paint the light cover, have to see how I get it there at the moment, 12 daze until $$$.

Tank You! to my friends at T-N-T Signs here in town who have helped me SO MUCH over the last dozen or so years with vinyl, graphics, and general work on my projects from Tempest on...

I got some much needed help getting the black inserts and Schwinn scripts on the tank for this bike.

And YES, that is a diet Dew you see reflected, not any defects

Tank and all decals from @bicyclebones

With their dad's Columbia sent to it's home, the Schwinn in the Box is ready in the on deck circle.

I have some black Krylon Fusion (bonds to plastic and metal without primers etc.) that I can use on the light cover, I don't know if it comes in the red shown in the picture of the original bike. If I can mask and carefully trim the ridge and bezel area I hope I can get this done right.

So far, although I ran out before I could do much it looks like this can work.
