Hey everyone!
So I was referred here from a mountain biking site for some help on a restoration. I picked up this 1967 (guessin on year) Schwinn Hollywood from my grandparents really only knowing they had an old beach cruiser sitting around. Well my Grandma expressed interest in it after I am done with it. So I plan on getting this thing restored and then handing it back to her for Christmas. So far I have started stripping paint off, about 60% done. But I still have not been able to get the bike completely disassembled. I have removed every nut and bolt I could find but still the fork will not come out as well, the neck that holds the handlebar is still stuck and I cannot figure out how to get the pedals, cranks and gear off! This is my first time doing any sort of build with a bike so be gentle. haha.
Well here is a pic of what I am working with, taken before I started doing anything to it:
