I got the sprocket on ebay. I think its a Shelby but, I'm not sure.
It can be fast, safe or cheap. Pick two.

I finally got the spokes for the front wheel and laced in a rechromed New Departure front hub. I've started building the truss fork and I bobbed the original rear fender. The Torrington stem will need some TLC but its a good solid starting point. I have the "tank" halves cut out and sanded but, I'm still not 100% sure which direction the final tank construction will go. Here are some detail shots of my progress so far.

I had not really given it any thought. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to finish in time!

I've got the fork built. It just needs some grinding, sanding and some primer and paint. I have also got the "tank" primed. It will probably get sanded and primed again tomorrow. Sorry for the bad picture.
