Thinking of just pulling the bars, fenders, chain guard and leave the frame paint as is. Add vintage drop bars, replace the rims, keep the hubs and make it a rat racer.

I had one of those when I was a kid, exactly like that, I think it's still hanging in my dads shed. It's a three speed right? Mine looked much worse than that 30 years ago. That is a nice survivor.
