Awsome starting point.

Picked this one up in. June 2004 .. was painted with Red Barn paint. I sanded it and spray painted it with the red wagon paint. And then : took the paint markers after the chain guard and a rear license plate which I'll get a picture of later.
I don't know where the skip tooth chain is. I'll run across one somewhere. I know have a few around .
It was robbed of chain, bars pedals and a few things. Over the time has been in storage which is probably 11 years.

Will you be flipping it when you are done?

Love these curved seat tube frames!
Broke down the bird this evening. Just before dark here..
The welds on those Murray built frames are so sexy.

Front hub air-cooled as well.
These old lightening White Walls sure are cool. But these are bit to dry rotted for running.
The Bird is the word.
