[QUOTE="LBCJ, post: 582912, member: 15628"] Well, my photos seem to have posted, so moving on... Tore the breeze apart and set it aside. Spent some time cleaning some of the chrome. Long way to go in that dept. Spent Saturday with the stripper. Got the Racer frame and fork to bare metal (which I really dig, but I have a 20's bike in bare metal on my wall so I'm trying to diversify). After some sanding, I primered up the parts in Red oxide primer. That way when the bike starts to "patina", aka, get used and abused, the frame will be uniform with the factory chainguard. Next was the gloss black paint. Lots of it. Today was a trip to the Cycle Swap at the Veterans Stadium for a few bits and pieces, followed by some more polishing, and well... watching paint dry! Tomorrow I'll start assembly. Paint photos are below. Oh, and the serial #. I think it's a cool one. But in truth it just denotes the last week of November, '55.
