Possible Elgin Victory found and what to do with it?

[Uncle Shish]

If anyone is interested, this is how it turned out. Still hoping to eventually find a better seat for it.
Period correct? Nah ... Perfect? Nah ... but I'm pleased, especially considering what I started with.

Well @Uncle Shish , looks like you got it figured out. Very nicely done.............and with a tank and rack to boot ! Purists will be purists that's fine. What you have done here is made what looks to be a very personal bike to your taste. That's awesome! You'll probably take great care with this after all the work you put into it , and be proud while showing it and riding it. It is nice to know how these bikes left their respective factories (this can be challenging , as we've seen in this "discussion" ) and some may want that as an end result ..................but that's hard to do and sometimes next to impossible. Your bike looks fantastic! I would be proud of that. Job well done !

@Uncle Shish you did a phenomenal job and the bike looks great. I really dig in the color combo too.
