hi from mpls MN

[scottb]

got this walmart schwinn and couldnt take the stickers off so i took off most of the paint and rusted it in one day. I like it alot, rides like a new bike and gets alot of looks. might put a 2 stroke on it. in the winter. probly put an older style seat too. i know that it isnt old, but i was going to start with a 60 something typhoon project, but this just seemed easier for me. what do you think

Cool. How did you accelerate the rust?

 

[scottb]

accelerated with vinegar. althgough i found out water on top of that will give you a really orange rust, then just clear over it so it doesnt get on your pants.
