[kingfish254]

Great old Rollfast! I'm digging the progress so far. That shiny patina pops nicely

All the screws came out really easy. Except for what I got to the lower rear fender. not much room to get to the screw head.

and the nut is kind of seized so I have to soak it with some three in one.

Nice! It looks like a 47 Rollfast. The serial number is on the bottom bracket and will give the exact year, in reverse order. 74 is 1947.

Dude, i I can't find any numbers yet. Of course of my eyesight that's not saying much.
Maybe @Kay ca see them..hafts have her lookk, when she gets home from work this evening.

Had to get the vice squad on this job.

Clean & put matte finish on each.

There's possibly a 74 right there. That would denote 1947. Usually Rollfast had EH or SN next to the two digits for the factory, but I've seen a few with just the 2 digits.

Will get back to the build soon.
Let's have a commercial break.

Going to go with these bars

Seat looks awesome. Let me know how it feels on a ride! I see these online all the time…. I just can’t seem to pull the trigger on one!
