Where to get parts?

[Yardstick]

Newbie here. Just dug out my Dad's 62' American from years of sitting in a shed. I know the seat and handle bars are not original and need to find a chain gaurd. Just signed up on this forum today. Thanks for any help at all!

And, yet, not for sure as I don't do stingrays but, ya might have some trading power as it looks like, regardless that it may have been recovered red, a 1964 type of sting ray seat, potential 65-68-ish seat bar too. Along with handle bar and stem (goose neck). Both are likely more valued than what you'll need to piece it back together. Also, your chain guard, eBay's good for that too, and it's not an American deluxe chain guard, so, a little easier to get. .
