Arizona OJ

I stole this from a friend who was letting it sit in his garage. He originally was going to fix it up but never got to it. After seeing it neglected and collecting dust for so long, I liberated it after a bbq at his house. I will be returning it to him in super sweet condition as you will see.

Using the straw method for masking the spokes.

I tried tp do a pinstripe paint job on the fenders but it came out horrible so it was covered up and painted to match the red and orange.

Forgot to take the water bottle off before the photo.

The orginal schwinn plate. Masked around it with tape when I painted.

I said whoa when I saw the paint. Nice, and it makes me think of a drink too. Sunrise whoa!

There is a drink called a sunkist, orange soda and few liquors. Ill find out whats in it. It seems I have found a reason to combine bikes and drinking 2 of my top 3 things I like to do. I am going to do a ride to the local pub and drink in honor of my new build.

Im in Apache Junction. 30 miles east of phoenix. If you've ever seen Bad Santa, Billy Bob refers to it as a suburb.
