Chain guard is not original which wouldn't be a big deal, but it's too large. I picked up the Sears bike for $50. It's chain guard is slimmer : ), so I may just use that.
The Sears bike has everything I need I think, I'm just having second thoughts about using parts from it....
I will try to post pics of the Sears this evening.
Those rear hubs are interesting. Be sure and get a pic of that.
There are gentle ways of forcing a fender back into shape. I use a soft anvil and a small hard rubber tipped hammer. The anvil is a sock filled with sand.
i have couple of coloured steel coverings but the black ones go to my keeper, Sorry!
