    How do you remove paint?

    I am getting ready to strip the paint off a bunch of parts and started with a heavy duty stripper, but have seen people using grinders with different wheels on them to remove paint etc... Just curious what your favorite way to strip paint before a respray without damaging the metal... Sorry...

    1935 Wards Hawthorne

    I am not positive but I am pretty sure it has been repainted and re-chromed. It looks way to shiny to be OG

    1935 Wards Hawthorne

    I am interested in any period correct accessories if you have something that would look cool on here like a light, horn, tank, etc.... I also want a drop stand for it as well if anyone has one cheap! Thanks

    1935 Wards Hawthorne

    I just bought this 1935? Wards Hawthorne as a birthday present to myself, what are your thoughts? I can tell the kickstand is wrong as it should have a drop stand and clip on the rear fender I believe. The seller told me the kickstand was a rare elgin pencil stand but I have no idea...

    I have seen that badge on many early 40's models but could be as early as late 30's. I sent a PM, and am crossing my fingers!

    Just curious, how does the light attach? There is no indent or hole for a light to mount? The fender looks to be og and paint matches the rest of the bike so I am confident it is correct.... Just curious

    JC Higgins Color Flow

    It seems the concensus is that this is a 50 or 51 and should noy have the jewels in the tank. I do still want to get the light and the correct seat if anyone has one lying around... Otherwise no plans to restore this one, og paint so I will leave it as-is.

    JC Higgins Color Flow

    Here is a quick pic I took of a 50's JC Higgins Color Flow bike I just bought. Would like to get a headlight and the correct style seat for it, but otherwise will leave as is. The rear reflector lens is cracked and would like to find one of those as well if you know of any lying around. More...
