That was a lot of man on there!

I'd let you paint my eyes 👀 any day ... Wait, what? 🤣 Fantastic detail.

Comin' in hot! 🔥

I also got the chainguard stripped ... ... and the base coat burgundy with very early stages of faux-tina added ...

Excellent night of progress. I am absolutely thrilled with the faux-tina results on these wheels. I hope the photos do justice. Shown here with the original fender for modeling inspiration.

I'll shoot a photo later and post it. I used a hair dryer and a plastic pallet scraper used for removing vinyl lettering. As I expected, nearly new 80 year old paint beneath!

I really noticed great progress in the color coming back EARLY this morning (4am ... can't wait to see our security cam videos) so I've decided everyone gets a bath! Not sure, with it being a red base how long I should leave it in. I put the remaining parts in at 8:30 am before leaving for work...

Thank you for the tips. I'm definitely going to use your advice but am going to shoot a burgundy base - same paint I used on the hoops. I currently have all the colors you suggest with the exception of the strawflower.

Shhhh! ... Don't tell my wife I'm using the basement basin for an acid bath

Trying an acid bath on the worst of the frame and a little WD40 on the fenders and an Old Style for me.

A gorgeous set of natural patina DX fenders from a 1941... worth every cent I probably overpaid for them :) My original thought is to hit them with some 0000 steel wool and WD40 to try and get a little color back. I'd also like to remove the reflective tape, so popular in the 50s, but not sure...

A game changer- as far as my approach to this build and the amount of "faux-tina-ing" I'll have to do, arrived yesterday (6/3) via my buddy from The CABE, fresh from California. What is it the kids say these days? Oh, I remember .... "wait for it"

What size Monark chain ring are you looking for? I have this one that somebody stuck on this 1949 ladies Schwinn that I'll be replacing with a 4-clover.

Like what you have going on here, Lewis. Hope to ride again soon!

We have the green model on my wife's Rollfast. We bought the bike just for the seat, truth be told.

Tasty combination of goodies! Is that a toe operated bell?

It definitely helps to have an extra hand, that's for sure!

How do you post your longer videos? Sorry if it's posted on here somewhere - but my video was 30 seconds and it said it was too long.

Not sure how good it will show as the light in the paint room is very bright. I'm going to let these sit then lightly hit them with a scrubby and figure out where to go from there.

Alrighty then! A little more progress tonight on the hoops. My buddy Dyno Dan manned the Beugler while I spun the hoop and Norm filmed. We used an easel with stops left and bottom to rotate against. First time adding a video. I think I need to read up on the process. Next, after allowing the...
