Wasp Convertible

Thanks Jeff54! That was the real challenge on this bike to try and match the original paint and patina.
Here's a closer look at some rusty fiberglass...

Thanks Jarod, did you ever sell that Spaceliner Convertible?

Na I still have it. Dude that paint work on your schwinn is awesome. Maybe I'll paint my tank.

I had a person asking how strong these tanks are. This is a pretty heavy bike and the tank is sandwiched over the frame and bolted together with two small machine screws. I don't think there will ever be an issue with how strong the fiberglass is!

Do these tanks line up good where the rear stays meat the seat tube or does some fabrication need to be done to make it fit smoothly?
