Mead Ranger & Schwinn Panther II bike updated & improved .

[tanksalot]

Here they are .. The Panther is super clean & I have not even touched it yet for detailing .. The Mead Ranger was originaly brown & white that has been painted over the good news is the original paint seems to be relatively intact under the gray & the gray is coming off easy with my finger nail.. The Meads tank is super solid but has two dents from the truss rods.The left side I should be able to fix easy the right side is going to take some doing Im open to suggestions with out a torch if I can help it ..

Mead Ranger gray paint removed !This was a nice suprise. Im not done yet but this gives you a idea of what this is turning out to be... :mrgreen:

I didnt finish cleaning this side when the photo was taken.

Both bikes are sweet. You aren't selling the panther are you? That is a rare one year only bike it should be a 59. Matt

That Panther is too cool. I like those half-Fat tanks. Not regular and not a slimline.

Both very nice finds and that Panther is about as nice of an original example as there is! :shock:

Getting the old paint off the Mead and still seeing the original paintwork--wow,I am dumfounded.Great job.
