What is this bike?

THIS IS NOT MY BIKE!!! I went to a classic car show and went to the rat rod section... I caught myself looking at this bike, it's a Schwinn something but wow it looks tight. Anyone know what it is or the year?

The pic is a little too far away but it looks like a Schwinn straightbar Phantom w/tank and springer. Rear fender has been bobbed, tires, bars and seat are replacements. At least that is my guess...

if thats the one nogoodnick posted in the autorama thread....its a 50's panther with a bobbed rear fender and so forth (just like 12bcruzin said) the pic you have is small so you cant see the paint detail too well the one nogoodnick posted is bigger and the paint is the dead giveaway :wink:

I took this picture at an Autorama in Grand Rapids, Michigan too!
