Cleaned up for a friend
A friend of mine came to me with this rusty Murray Valiant Classic and asked if I could clean it up some, and make it look a little better for him.
I just finished it up today, and thought I'd share a few before, during, and after pics with the forum. I went a little farther than just cleaning it up some. I gave it a full overhaul!
Before:
All stripped down:
And finally all cleaned up with a new lease on life!:

Nice indeed... I have a soft spot for Murrays.
Being a kid in the 60s and 70s was a pretty frickin sweet deal.

That looks great! What method did you use to remove all of rust? Just curious, everyone seems to have a different way.
