Rusty chrome cruiser project

I was recently given a rusted out old beach cruiser.   It's a cool bike but needs a LOT of love. In fact, it's so rusty it might not be worth the effort of trying to restore the chrome.  Some of the rust is so bad, I will probably need to strip it to bare metal and paint it.  But I feel like restoring the chrome a good project so I'm going for it.   I'll post some before, during and after pictures.
