If your looking for leather for your seat build you may want to look at the leather guy , very helpful and enough leather for three seats for under $30 . This before I cleaned the glue residue off .
What did you use for padding?
It's hard to look at your cup as half full when the other half is filled with coffee grinds . This is the list of items that need redone .
1) Take apart both hubs to replace rear axle and file both 5/8" axles to fit fork and dropouts .
2)Remove light to drill and tap rear hole that the factory forgot about .
3) Extend and cut the threads on the girls truss rods to make them suitable for a men's bike .
4) Replace kickstand arm for a better fit .
5) Paint some items that were left out on the first go around .
Guess it's time to make a fresh pot of coffee ?

But I'm digging it so far. I like the Seabee twist on the military bike aesthetic ! Gonna be cool.
A Seabee lieutenant tried to recruit me a few years back, little did he know I'm deathly afraid of deep water. And told him I was a conscientious objector lost interest in me after that

The original felt (?) padding .
The front half is almost complete . Borrowed the bird mascot idea from
@MazdaFlyer , the cast pelican is a bottle opener . Cut back the girls truss rods , re threaded and added ss fasteners . To tell you the truth , I'm about over this build and ready to move to the next project .

Sweet badge!
Just stumbled onto this navy gray finish due to your pelican reference. So I explored your thread and found the Seabee decal. My Navy time was spent in the Seabees. Great experience, I’ve thought numerous times about doing a Seabees theme bike. Now you’ve done set my mind into action. I’ll be interested to see your final product.
nice!
Ride on, ride on, ride on! Glad to hear you will finish.
THAT IS AWESOME!!!!
How did they manage during war time ?
