After I saw the pic of USAZorro's Huffy, I was resigned to not being the clunkiest, so I started cleaning it up a bit. Some "before" pics

To be clear, I could not bring myself to pull the trigger on that Huffy. I chose to move forward with an 80-ish year old Robin Hood instead. Still on the klunkier side of the spectrum, but you are definitely a serious contender.
