Schwinn Suburban Before Pictures

Here's an update on my restoring project.  I took before pictures of my Schwinn suburban.  Here's some pic.s:

this is from the side

from the front

i like that little bag on the front, i can keep two spare tires in there and some tire levers, and all it is, is an old camera bag i found at goodwill for $0.99.

this is the bottom of the front fender

this is the rear fender, i wasn't able to get a picture of all the rust, i forgot to.  but this is the new color I'm painting it, it has a few dings in the fender, but those will be gone after Friday.  the rust was about a 1/2 - 3/4 inch stripe going from just above the reflector, to about three inches from the brakes. it was bad, and you'll probably be able to see it when we stripe all the paint away.

New color vs. old color

as you can see in this picture there is yellowish pin stripes, i am going to be putting antique cream colored pin stripes on to the fenders when all the rest of the painting is done.
