Rusty chrome cruiser project - Finished!

The rusty chrome cruiser is now finished!   Some of the rust was a real bear but I managed to get it all cleaned off by starting with a wire wheel on a drill then moved to wet steel wool, I finished it off with a chrome polish. 
The only new part I bought was a tube for the rear tire and some spray paint for the wheels, handlebars and pedals.   The chain was pretty much frozen with rust so I had to soak it in WD-40 then used some de-greaser to bring it back to life.
Overall it was a fun project and I look forward to many more.
Below are before and after pictures, I'll also have more pictures on the Facebook page.
