Taking a break from the mopars this winter/ Chopper build

[coffeedart67]

Should fix it up and paint it to match my 67 GT, and let my 8 year old nephew display it at car shows. Found out that my 40+ year old body doesn't like a 20" tire bike, then again the correct seat might help.

That what I did with my Schwinn. Painted it the same as the car and will cover the seat with left over vinyl top material. I need to make or have made a sticker that says Swing-Ray instead Sting-ray for the chainguard. Swing would be in the Swinger emblem font and Ray in the Schwinn font.
Mine is not the best fit for me(44) but it keeps me from getting to far ahead of my wife....wait, I still do. :-\"

Sorry for the hijack EL5DEMON340. Any progress on yours?

bondo and sanding of the frame, may paint the thing this week,can you believe about 4hr's just on stripping, bondo, priming the chainguard!! Not sure what to do with the rear fender, leave it full, cut it to a bobber style, or go to a full chrome ducktail...

update on paint, just duplicolor orange mist metallic with clear coat, pic don't do it justice! came out better than i thought for a home paint job! BTW i just picked up a 1969 Huffy 5 speed rail thats been in the attic since 1973, needs a major clean and polish!!!

Paint looks real good! Love the Huffy. Looks just as cool as the Schwinns of thier day.
