I picked up a very trashed Wards (snyder built) ten speed from the bike farm a couple months ago. Probably overpaid as I ended up throwing everything except the frame out.

Frame as I got it after stripping everything off. My original plan was to use the two speed hub I had laying around, but now I kind of want to save it for the chance I may (God willing) find a Columbia Roadster some day.

Frame now after a few coats of rustoleum. Actually looks pretty good except for orange peel in a few spots. Might look perfect with a clear coat. Thinking about fitting a normal coaster brake and 27" wheels - although the bike has clearance for taller wheels 28" would work too.
 
Rustoleum can be wet sanded and polished like any
other paint; no reason to put up with orange peel.

Is that 2x paint you're using? Color is cool.
