My First Rat Rod Project

[firestonepilot]

My wife and I returned to cycling this past summer. We started with Walmart bikes, a month later each of us bought
old redone bikes and a couple months after that bought really nice bikes from our local bike shop. I now finally have a
bike I can call a Rat Rod. I plan on tearing it down, painting it black, removing the fenders and chainguard and painting
the rims red. It is a MW Hawthorne not sure the year but I think it will make a great Rat Rod Bike.

That will definatly make a very cool project bike. Definatly is a MW/Hawthorne bike built by H.P. Snyder (maker of Rollfasts) and i'd guestimate early to mid 60's. Cool find!
