new life for a '39 Schwinn parts bike

Tim the Skid

Skidding on my '41 Schwinn Autocycle
I picked this Admiral badged '39 up at an auto swap meet for the parts that were on it, and planned to part it out. When I got home I threw some tires on and changed the chain guard and seat pan. Then I made the mistake of wiping down the frame. When I saw there was color coming back I decided to see if I could save the bike. Now I've reached the point of no return. I'm trying to build a low buck pre-war rider with parts I can scrounge around here. The frame turned out decent, working on the fenders today.

Trying to get some color out of the fenders. Mother nature was not as kind to the tin pieces. The front has pitting and a trace of color.

The rear had a coat of blue paint on it and preserved a little more color.
