Never look a gift Schwinn in the mouth...

Slow going on the posting because I don't always take good shots and there is chrome finish on this that has to be carefully masked. I have most of the left side going QUITE well!

This is how I'm going to finish the fender light cover...spray some paint into a plastic container and daub it on to get it as precisely as I can.

This also allows me to work inside out of the cold and will help me with my other projects as well.

I tried re-masking the bezel and the spine and covered the tail for later then sprayed it quickly and brought it in to sit up out of the way to dry. I might have some petroleum jelly left in the bathroom cupboard, have to look.
 
Okay, here is the tough part. I've got it up on my stand and, well, I at least have the SEAT on. I should have all the parts together in here and in the bicycle box but I haven't found all of it yet. I don't know where the headlamp assembly is yet. And I don't thing I actually have a CHAIN.

And I have a headache, a real one, not figuratively.

Now where is the CRANK?

Too much stuff in here and I had back pains and a bad cold over the last month.

So here goes. I have to go back and find the instructions I got for putting the fork in.

?:)?

I sprayed the other side of the fender light cover and I'll get the small details with the help of a foam brush later on. I second coat there may be necessary.

The Aldi bike stand, while not all the way together, is just peachy!

I may have them done for Christmas after all (although I'm not sure if I had a chain for the Huffy)...

Yes, Danny, that is the Schwinn seat from the 50s Tiger you parted.
