@Jake Sensi ....

This build is sleek, smooth, stylish, and...Schwinn. Only thing I see is grips; red? Some of those black Schwinn style pistol grips available in re-pop might be cool on this.
I used them on my MBBO #5 bike, Four-gone Conclusion....

Thanks. My wife suggested the red grips. So they are staying

Stripped the paint off of my tank so I can straighten it and paint it

Thank you! I'm pretty pleased with this bike. It's my first attempt at doing something more than just cleaning them up

Painted my tank today. I'm pleased with it. It could be better. But I know I'm going to ride this bad boy and I know I'm going to kick the tank

I'll decal it over the weekend

Great work!
I almost think it might look more streamlined with a low back sissy bar?

It would, I'm not crazy about the sissy bar. I might redrill it or get another one eventually. All of my bike money is going into my sons Schwinn Scrambler project so it stays
