'55 Rollfast Rat - now with more tank

[ADVHOG]

I aquired a 55 rollfast frame out of the for sale section a while back - Thanks bikedudeomaha!
I love the frame and wanted to build a rat rider. I had a Samco fork and a slightly older girls rollie as a donor. It was complete but someone painted the fenders blue and all the chrome silver. I did a little stripping on the fenders and plan on working on getting rid of more blue paint.

Here it is so far...

It has a beater seat on it right now. It sports original US Royal Chain tires, new departure front and rear hubs, and Torrington bars. Dogleg crank and sprocket are rollfast. I'll be making a top for the torpedo light out of an old fender.

I swapped the seat and added a rack last night before bed. This weekend I'm gonna strip the fenders bare with maybe just a pinstripe on each side. I've got a couple of chain guards too. I'll get one of them on. Got to service both hubs, also.

I stripped the fenders. They are a cool black. Almost like gun blue. I added a reflector and some NOS wald pedals. Serviced the hubs and they ride great. I'm not sure about the chain guard and I still need to fab up a top to the torpedo light.

What do you guys think?

I aquired a tank that sort of fits this frame. I think it might be a monark.

What do you all think?

No tank...

Or...With tank?
