Any thoughts on trying to restore the paint to the original purple? Some oven cleaner might get it off ......just thinking out loud

The purple has very deep scratches. Looks like the kid used 80 grit before going black.
Also want it blue for my theme.

No progress.
I spent my day following leads on parts for both builds.
I did get a number of a guy to contact tomorrow that has a dismantled Fair Lady that was going to go threw it for his grand daughter but only got as far as taking it apart & now wants to sell it.
Also brought home a stray

If you pick up that Fair Lady, let me see some pics. I might need some parts for mine.

Yea. He showed me a pic of it idk that I'd have had the heart to part it out.
The vinyl flower banana seat was flawless.

Got my chain guard from @Dr. Tankenstein going to start planning how I'm going to make it fit; its a tad long as is lol. But I kind of like it long; gives it a different look.

The longer guard gives the chain ring that "Swept" look. I like.Got my chain guard from @Dr. Tankenstein going to start planning how I'm going to make it fit; its a tad long as is lol. But I kind of like it long; gives it a different look.
Its got a couple areas that are a bit bent along the face side but I haven't tried to see if I can straighten them out yet.
I like the chain guard long!
Me too but I need to figure out mounting in securely with it being that long. Also there is a hole along the face side after the seat stay that was an original mounting point that's throwing me for a loop.
You could use that hole and fab a bracket to match if you're staying long.
Panhead screw inside and acorn nut on the outside.

Was thinking about that. Need to get a chain on this thing and set forth to figuring it out.
May try to finish up my Heavy duti quick so I can get it off the stand tho. Not sure this bike will fit on it but either way at least 1 build should get finished lol.
How about run the guard on the outside of the seat stay,put a C notch on the flat top of the guard were the seat stay is so it looks like the stay goes through the top of the guard,drill a hole to mount to the original tab and use the existing hole behind the seat stay to bolt on a small bullet rear light?
I put a 26" guard on my son's '32 Rollfast frame and I liked the look of it. You can make it work.
