Early ‘66 huffy Rail

[Bike from the Dead]

“It’s only original once” is true, which would have been nice for this very early example of a ‘66 Huffy Rail. The corrosion damage, however, really made it look like crap. So Im going to work some shine back into it.

I get that you're more of a restorer than a preservationist, but man, I would never think to call that starting point "crap." I'd be happy to have a Huffy Rail in that condition! That's a survivor in my books!

With that said, you did a fantastic job restoring that old Huffy. That shined up real nice!

 

[CRASH]

The pitting was deep. Yes it could have been preserved, but that’s just lipstick on a pig.
