Sunday's Show And Tell...8/28/16

Oh yeah I spent a few hours removing the green, orange, and white house paint. Well actually more than a few but I was able to save a large part of the original paint and all the decals. Ain't gonna win no beauty contest but its the real deal. I have a better set of rims on the way and a tank being made right now and then I'm going to call it a day on this one. V/r Shawn

The cast metal ones are toys. The bicycle ones were aluminum. Still a great find.

Pick up at flea market LINDY plane maybe shelby ornament or maybe just a toy View attachment 354334 View attachment 354335

Thanks Larry and everyone that has provided positive comments. I'm happy with the way it turned out considering what I started with and taking a fairly expensive chance that I could save the original paint. I also have a rack on the way and once I get the tank and rack installed it will be finished for now. At some point I hope to get a set of white Robert Deans for it so I can ride it. V/r Shawn

I picked up this 1952 Monark Super Deluxe.

Great Super Deluxe, love the color combo. I found the exact color bike years ago in Rhinebeck N.Y. Rails on tank and all. The only thing different was it had the dual split basket on the front. It said Firestone on the sides with big plaques. That came off within 5 minutes of getting the bike home.
