66 schwinn Panther/fleet/middleweight

[Modelcarjedi]

This is going to be my first semi custom build. I usually just do a lube and shine. Saw this bike listed here in the swap meet section and it was local so i drug it home. The seller said it was his uncles bike, well his uncle road the wheels off of it !!

The Plan is to have it powder coated,3speed rear hub and polish the rest up the best i can

Here's what i started with

started cleaning up some of the chrome

these beauties came in the mail

i might go with this color when i have it powder coated, the tank sides and chain guard will probably be white

Looks to be a Schwinn Fleet , not a Panther
Good start never the less.

i'm not sure i was going off of the chaingaurd logo

It was probably changed at some point
Looks like some one added a Columbia
Chain ring also.

Thanks! All I need for it is a decent rear fender and reflector. This one has had a rough life !

Was looking at some other colors

it would look pretty cool if you did the frame in the light blue, and the chain-guard and fork in yellow.

Light blue - use this color.

Started mocking up my bike tonight. I like it so far!

That old Schwinn chrome is bulletproof!

It might be a Panther.

Black and chrome is always a nice mix!

Looks rad... I would leave the tank and rest of chrome as is to offset that nice powder job...

Looking good. That was a perfect choice of bars.

It might be a Panther.

Thanks for posting this
