I picked this bike up at the Dudley swap meet last fall for 85 bucks
it was mostly complete but really rusty and both pedals were broken. Strange thing is the frame was chrome plated under what I'm pretty sure was the original paint, were all painted spaceliners like this? Anyway a couple days with a wire wheel and some steel wool and I had this
some wood bleach and simple green got all the small parts shiny
and then came nasty evil winter, lots of overtime, ice racing and no ambition to work in the cold cold cellar. Then it got back burnered for my Christmas present bike and then the build off bike and sat just like that til this weekend. I had to work Friday night but got up early Saturday to sand prime and paint, my least favorite part of bike building!! All the chrome parts were rusty so I painted what was chrome either silver or metallic black. Here's the start of reassembly
when I ordered the handlebars I wasn't really paying attention so I got bars with a 7/8 center luckily I had a bmx stem in the parts pile 
a quick trip to the hardware store for some black button head Allen bolts to replace the fender and rack rivets I drilled out and here she is
I only had time for a 5 minute test ride before work
but I think it's mostly done
