just picked up this bad boy today...

[El Pocho]

in storage for years...I got the black, wald 5" rise bars, red mkt pedals, leather spring saddle, leather grips and new tires on the way. Im regreasing it, putting a new springer bump stop in, and thats it. Rims are beautifully rusty but perfectly straight. I'll be sure to post pics with the new parts.
Rockin it just like that. Been looking for this frame/springer for YEARS!!!

Congratulations, that's a super cool find. A little bit of grease, a little bit of scrubbing, will go a long way

That looks like a nice early Panther what is the serial? Is the springer locking? Looks like decent pair of bottle cap pedals.

thanks...speaking of scrubbing, what do you recommend to scrub the frame with? I love the patina, but I'd like to remove the grime and bring some life back to the paint. ive been in the custom paint business for decades, but this is quite different. I dont want to polish it. Any suggestions?

You could use some polishing compound as well. Either way follow it up with a good waxing.
