Welcome! Sounds like a great project. Some pics would be good to see what the paint needs. You might be able to clean it up pretty well with 0000 steel wool and WD40, depending how bad the rust is. Enjoy the forum, this is a fun place to hang out!
I was able to get some work done on the forks today. You can see the legs don’t match.
We used my dad’s bender and expertise. You gotta love the homemade die made out of pressure treated lumber.
It took a fair amount tweaking but we were able to get them pretty darn good.
At this point...
Looking good! The chrome is looking really nice. That was a great deal on that Huffy and the blue parts look great on this build. I like the paint work you’re doing on it as well. Stylin’!
