LOL, we drafted a plan:
New/used white-wall tires - found some yesterday that are brand new - but were stored in a garage for years for $20.
New white grips (3/4") - ordered on Amazon this week for $6 shipping included.
De-grease but leave natural patina and age
Polish de-rust all chrome
Lubricate all bearings/re-pack with fresh grease
Attach new white pedals (in a bag that came with the bike - I like free)
Re-upholster seat - got to figure this one out...never attempted this before.

Then cruise the neighborhood and show this unique bike to all the kids riding modern day crap from Walmart.
