Hi Fellas,here for another project.Building this Schwinn Phantom for a friend.
Well actually two friends,the first one who owned it and never got to build it and
the second one the present owner who bought it.Whew... :( talk about pressure.
Hope i can do justice and bring this baby back on the road. :D

Fenders shy of dents,it's gonna be a hard days night. :(
Markings are for the new dimples for the forks and rods.

Started in the morning and my weapon for the day is a small hammer and a giant steel match stick :wink:

Little_Will said:
Nice job on knocking those dents out. I could really do with one of those big steel matchsticks! I always put more dents in than I take out :lol:

Will

Thanks Will,want to borrow my matchstick? :D you'll get use to it once you keep using it.



Here's some update guys,sorry those fenders got the worse of me.I got rid of the big dents,
but the small once needs a fender roller,and i don't have those.So bondo and paint are the next things on the list,
and Crome is not an option.Sorry for the poor image quality,my camera broke down,im using my son's toy camera. :D

Should have waited for the red paint to dry a few more days,some of the paper damaged the paint,
now i have to re-spray the red without damaging the black paint. :( back to start.

need to add parts,replace some but it's done for now...thank you for the appreciations and comments...
see you all guys next year...Merry Christmas RRB! :D
 
Nice work! The silver paint instead of the chrome looks pretty good on the fenders and tanks. I've always preferred the B-6's over the Phantoms because I do not care for the look of chrome fenders.
 
Very nice work on masking the pinstripes rather than getting them done

Thanks Rat Pilot,yes the silver paint made it more subtle than chrome...thank you.
