I ❤️ the smell of mock-up in the morning

Back from pinstripes.

Perfect, very custom. Just custom enough to keep me outta the lowrider class. Those guys are on another planet!

Made a few changes. Sitting in the back room waiting on them. I decided to go with a Panther chainguard. I have one in perfect condition. It only lacks chrome.

Decided to go with a setback post.

Way more cl than stock.

Another day, another Autorama. Looks pretty sparse again this year. They put me in the same exact spot as last year.

Luckily I'm looking down on some sweet Impalas and Caddies. Probably about 10 bikes this year. More pics to follow.

Turned out sweet! I love all the pin-striping!

The winner is,...

This sick little 20.

This is 3rd place. I was so sick with allergies this weekend. I only went today (Sunday) to collect the bike. I didn't go Friday or Saturday. We went there at 3:00, the awards ceremony is at 4:00. Worst Autorama ever for me. Bummer because I think this is my last Autorama. Of course I say that every year. But only 7 bikes total this year.

Thanks El Pocho. Just to let you know, no Schwinn parts were modified or harmed on this build. Only the frame and fork are og 50s. There are some 60s Stingray parts on there. The pedals, tank, fenders, etc are repops. I can put a stock yoke back on and make it a rider. Turning radius is a little compromised in its current state.
