I like it! I have a 56 green wasp! Mine Isn't in as good shape as yours but I've added more to mine. 9 hole rack, klaxon plunger horn, wheel lock, flash lite and holder, and license plate. First vintage bike I ever got for myself.

Thanks everyone for the props! This is the first Schwinn to get a gender change with one of my convertible tanks. It's turning out to be one of my favorites.

I'd like to see some other views of it.

I'll have to upload some more from my camera later, but here's one more for now.

The seat post is one that I made out of a Schwinn post cut off and a 5/8" L bolt welded in.

Wait WTF? That's one of your custom transgender tanks? this is an awesome job replicating rust around the screw hole and and color against the frame. !

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...

Looks great Jim! Nice work

Thanks Jarod, did you ever sell that Spaceliner Convertible?
