Finished up the AMF Roadmaster bicycle . Added a tank, original fender headlight (that actually works ) and a new set of white wall tires. Also built a rack to strap down the bike in the rear of the Suburban. Fits in there pretty nice

Looks good! I always try and save what I can too. If a guy has the time to spare he can save a lot of money.....

That's a lot of work to save a hatch but it's worth it! Looking good!

Looks about like I expect mine does. Are you planning to do anything about the rust inside as well? Any idea what it is about the design of these that makes them so prone to rust?

Good luck in the repair! Seems like you're on your way to getting it handled

Thanks for the support guys. Started to weld up the hatch yesterday and do a little grinding, then the wheels fell off the wagon. I think one of the reed valves broke in the compressor and I'm just about out of argon for the mig lol
