TRADITIONAL Iron & Oxygen

Mostly luck ... I bought all 3 colors of burgundy that they had. None were perfect but the aging process with the shades of browns and cinnamon hide that it's not a perfect color match, I think.

Color matching looking good. Really like where this is going.

Excellent work on the wheels.
I totally missed the killer groove details on that guard. Might be cool to try some aged white in those to set off that detail.

It's like you get me ...
This is pre full scale aging, just mild mists of my pallet.

Luckily I have a couple friends who are into the whole inspirational modeling thing ... although a little too extreme - I don't want to obliterate the cream.

Man, you are killing it with this Schwinn! This old bike's going to look like nothing ever happened to it by the time you're done!

My hope and intent is to make it look like it was saved just in time, but ride like a new bike.

Sounds like a plan. I can't wait to see the finished product!

Not too much exciting went down this past weekend. Pulled in too many directions and learning (the hard way of course) the inherent dangers of working on a project in two different places. Started a little assembly only to realize I forgot my fork 20 miles away. After making the roundtrip to retrieve them I then went to put the tank on yesterday (Sunday) and realized the screws were also 20 miles away ...
Oh well ... I did get this placebo horn button and worked on aging it a bit ... Can't have any shiny chrome on this build.

I also realized my truss rods were a tad too long and needed minor hole elongation.
