So here it is! Like said at the start. My goal was to build this 1940 Schwinn LaSalle with enough original parts to make people think I “ruined” a perfectly good original, rather than cobble one together with parts from all over the country. A little bit of customization and a few key 60’s style hot rod parts, along with a ton of elbow grease to get all the metal matching, and I got the exact look I was going for. Thanks a lot for looking!

Cool creative take on the La Salle! Very cohesive build. It all works!

Great photos to show your details too. Well done!
 
I wouldn't think you ruined an old bike, I would think that you have rebuilt something that existed back then, when people would have been interested in what you were doing with your 'new' bike... ;)
 
Beautiful hot rod build man! You executed the look you were going for perfectly. Love the Jerald slick too.
BRAVO!
 
That bare metal hot rod look with red wheels is terrific! The whole build just fits together so well. Beautiful bike, man, well done!
