1951 Schwinn Packard Custom

[BeardsandBikes]

I have added a Huffman springer fork and a 40's columbia chainguard. Unfortunately the bike was attacked by the rattle can so I will eventually blast it and flat black it. It a project I'm taking slow and will keep me busy for winter. I still have to get a seat and decide on bars ect....no worries no hurries.

Heres the added before picture of the bike when I picked it up.

It looks beast! I would clean the paint off teh cranks and roll it, the rattle can matching the worn spots in the chaingaurd is way too cool..!
