Lol thanks dude! Good to be back.
Its getting close. Im done for tonight
For coloring, I'm thinking about ford golden bronze as main color and Saturn burnt orange on dropout, BB, and headset.. not sure yet.
Shoot! Just tested chain guard to see if ten speed will work. Almost but guard is blocking it to shifting to high gear. That's out. I found rear 8 gears casette for $1.50. I will try that instead. At least, evan colson square fender bolted and is working beautifully.
Gotta say it, that Hurst shifter is the bees knees! Over the top awesome!

Totally agree! I would much rather have your bike than some mega dollar carbon fibre fixie or top of the range mountain bike. Your bike has style! 8)

m preparing my shed to be sealed and shop light to paint Spyder monkey then turn my shed into workstation after. I just bought primer, ford golden bronze, burnt orange, clearcoat. My plan is paint whole frame golden bronze then blend burnt orange on headset, BB, and dropout. I hope it will turn out great. Cross fingers.
Good thing I checked 13-34 teeth 8 speed casette before paint because I will need to do some grinds on frame. I think this will ride better than 15-28 5 speed casette.
Finally finished sealed the shed, now I'm grinding and sanding frame to prepare for paint. Bad new my aunt died. I have to go colorado peublo for two weeks. That's slowing me down.
I wish I have welder tools to make all those ruff metal blend smooth. I noticed some people use filler to do this job. Its scary to me because if I apply too much filler will cause crack. How it work?
sorry to hear about your aunt. I hope you find consolation in being with family.

Thank you.
I just had to paint frame before I go colorado. I finally finished painted. Dang it look good!
Clearcoated... when I come back I will do buff wax to make it heck shiny. 
I got back home eariler than planned. First thing I did after six days in the car with grandma is wet sanding and wax polished and put cups back. I had to stop right there because I'm exhausted. I made a few mistakes. I missed couple spots paint and over sparyed couple spots and should have punch headbadge pins out before paint. It still look so good tho. Not bad for first timer. Lol
Its difficult to picture true colors. In real life, it look different than picture shows. It has gold color too. Very cool. Will try again with sunlight. I like golden bronze. Burnt orange is okay.
