id say this bikes is done already (aside from the lack of a chain)

First bike is done. Did that chainguard come on the second bike?

 

[RATAFIED]

the first one looks awsome

Chain guard was from a different bike.... It was a chainguard from a Speedster, so after painting it I kept the chainguard original and put the decal on myself... I have no idea what model Schwinn the frame is...

The top bike gave me many problems it took me 2 weeks to find nuts for the rims!!! Old rare rims from the 30's or 40's and one of a kind thread pattern...Bike needs a chain and I have to remedy the back fender rubbing on the tire.. This project was suppose to be fun and easy using spare parts I had laying around and it turned into a major headache.. I think it will be worth it when I stop being lazy and start working on it again..

That blue bike frame is a '62 Typhoon. Only made that style frame for one model and one year.
