I got hired to rebuild this awesome 61 Schwinn Panther III by a family friend, so far I'm stoked on this project.

One of the best decals ever :inlove:.


I also got the whole thing broke down today, already looks good with just a WD-40 rub down.

More work getting done on the Panther, Boiled linseed oil treatment for any paint. And nevr-dull for any chrome.

Alright so I've got most of the small parts I ordered. Also the chrome wheels that came with the bike are just cheap !!! and broken.
So I upgraded them to some 60s Komet Super wheels.
