Wow, you did a heck of a job breathing life back into this bike. Superb!

Thanks for all the nice words. Some of the bikes in this build off are incredible. Voting is going to be tough

Stunning. Just stunning.

How illegal is the stuff you used to remove the rust? Because it must be illegal.

Wow ! This was a great experiance! This is my first build off and I had a great time building, restoring and following all the other great builds. Learned lots of new stuff and found out how awesome the Rat Rod Bikes community is. When I needed a link for my skiptooth chain - bike2112 sent it to me in an instant which made this project actually get on the road.
As a recap - I picked this 49 Schwinn from CL for $20. I thought I would at least be able to salvage the frame and I did not own a straight bar. When I got it home my wife saw the condition of it and asked how bad a bike had to be for me to NOT bring it home. A little light bulb went off and I named this bike ROCK BOTTOM
