Cool looking rat! Awesome horn.
Love the patina on all of the parts so far, are you leaving the tank red?

No red, I have an idea...
Works for me!! GTB!! Peace
Oh yeah found some skiptooth chain.
Robbing old parts off everything...
Mounting holes lined right up like it was meant to be...
Can't leave anything alone...
It's fun raiding the parts bin. You are pulling together some cool stuff. Love that light. Maybe use it on the fender and move the horn to the bars.
Tank looks to be an Evans. Seems to fit well up front.

Thanks, this build is so much fun! Its awesome to bring back life to this bike that was left for dead. I have a line on a beehive style springer, hoping to snag that and mount the light on it. I'm torn on what bars to use, I have been trying to keep all the parts I've been using period correct. I love ape hangers and put them on a lot of bikes, I just like the way they feel and look. Not sure if they would kill the look I'm going for...we will see...
Coming together ! Your RaT-tle can RaT-ina on the tank looks great.
I sense a potential OddJob Award possibility for you and Swamp Thing....stay tuned....

Not much new over here, just thinking about handlebars. At a stand still waiting, I need a fork yet. Theres a local bicycle swapmeet this weekend hoping to find some rusty gold...I can see it done in my head...
