Re: Schwinn DX '40 Clunker Gary replica [wheelset pag 3]
So finally I had the frame blasted, as you can see there are some different types of filling used.
Some brazing on the chainstays, some metal putty on other plces to simulate brazing and on the headtube the files the weldins I suppose?
The frame is in a little worse condition than I thought, not rusted through so still a good basis, but it needs some work.
First thing I did was coating it with epoxy primer, so the rust doesn't get a chance.
Next is coating the inside and then I have to decide if I do the painting myslef or go to a proffesional.
Little progress but we are getting there, when the painting is done it's just building up, all parts are there
