Hello D-Doll and welcome from Sacramento!
I think You do have a great starting point for your project and I glat to hear that you want to build it yourself. My daughter wants to build a burrito and she wants to have a big part in the build, including learning how to mig. I hope to get the fun started with her after school is out.
BTW, keep the second Saturday open so you can make it to Sac. and ride with us! :wink:
Thanks, yeah I fortunate too that I work at t dirt bike shop where they also do kustom work on whatever. 
So yesterday I started to clean all the rust off the metal...she's looking good!
That's really cool your daughter wants to weld, I've always wanted to learn how to do that.
And I actually do go to Sac a lot to get tattooed...got myslef an appt. this Thursday actually.
Take care.

Sweet bike, welcome to the kustom klub. :wink:
Is that a bullet valve cap in the rear? Something shiny, it caught my eye. Very nice bike indeed.

Oh great! Thanks for the hook up on the site.
Actually and thank you too for turning me onto all this
Yeah he said I cant get white walls for both tires, there HAS to be some out there? :?
Hey that's a really cool bike!
We are working on almost the same bike: ladies 40-something Schwinn DX.
Ours was blue too, but kind of purple originally. Has the small chainguard like a mens straightbar frame, not the big one like a PHantom.
I don't have an exact date because its just before the 1948 date cutoff... but I guess 1947.
It's post war, with the kickstand welded on. It's skiptooth, so not much later than 1950.
The serial number on ours is C 01030, found on the bottom of the crank housing. In 1952, they moved the serial number to the left rear of the frame, and that serial number is repeated, but this is an earlier bike. We just sandblasted it, as you can see here. Now it's primed, trying to decide what color to paint it. LEaning towards red and white.
Look on the bottom of yours for a number similar to that and post it here.
Cool bike!

Unfortuantly No. =(
Whenever I go ride I ride with guys an they usually aren't into stopping and taking a picture...
I do have one of me at the dunes (Glamis) from two years ago....even then I had to ask some random person to take a pic.
And this is the next year at Glamis after we mobbed thru the dunes and popped out at Oldsmobile hill...
Cool! Are you into MX too? Have you heard of Red Bud TNT? That's not far from where I live...btw...what do you do at the bike shop? I worked at a Honda shop for about 5 years and have ridden Honda road bikes for about 20 years...

I don't race or anything but I prefer track riding to trail riding. I like to go off sweet jumps! :mrgreen:

You picked a great time to get into this - there is an overabundance of girl's bikes available right now. I always figured I would have one girl's bike - guess what? Now I've got 6 girl's bikes and 5 boy's and the girl's bikes all have something about them that I really like - springer, tank, rack, built in fender light, etc.. I bought the girl's Monark Super Deluxe from rusty513 at what I considered a very reasonable price. It has very good original paint & chrome - only thing missing is the tank. Nicest bike I have to date - thank you rusty513! So, if you like girl's bikes there many treasures to be found. Good luck hunting and have fun!

Here's a few of mine:
A nice late 50's Murray
A pre-war (1935?) H.P. Snyder built:
And finally this clunker:
But enough about me! How's your build coming along?
