Got the cheap white paint stripped off the fenders..

So...after many hours of stripping paint...cleaning rust off every nut..bolt..and part..cleaning and replacing bearings etc..i finally got the bike together...replaced the original bars with U bars...and got a nice original vintage messinger saddle of a fella on this forum....i think the bike cleaned up nice...just waiting for a set of cream thick brick tires to arrive..took it for a ride with the old tires on it and am very impressed with the solid feel of the ride!..i love it..
