Bait shop find

[Bmpslc]

So I was on vacation in fort myers beach this past christmas, I was stopping in a bait shop and found these two beach cruisers "for sale". Expecting to hear some outrageous price I reluctantly asked the store owner, he said he would sell em for 10 Bucks!!!! Anyway after swapping all the better condition components to the huffy, I ventured to a beach bike store to see if I could use some free air to fill up my innertubes. I was lookin around the store and found lots of sweet parts and rebuilt bikes. I ended up trading the owner the other bike I bought plus 10 bucks for some hanger bars!!! It worked out perfect for me because I could Only fit one bike in my car to bring home! So once I got home The overhaul started. I ended up using plastidip spray paint on the rims so they would be very durable. It worked great! I just have to do the chain gaurd and sear post clamp yet. This here are some pics!
The deal!!

Cheap is right!! I normally build cars and chop up Honda cruisers which are way expensive! My only
Issue now is trying to bring back the fenders, I want em polished up but I think one of them is beyond repair

Im also in the process of making a cup holder (for beer obviously) out if an old oil filter and some hose clamps, gonna clamp it to the bars
