While racking my brain for something to do I made som progress on the rack. I will be adding a second bar to the support that looks like the curved bar in the front on the truss rods. I think I will do a 3 slat wooden deck curved to follow the racks shape.

SO many cool details. The rack and light are looking good. I used some of that self etching primer as paint for two toned looked on my Military bike.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I got busy between yard work, family gatherings and building an old fashoned wood cold air return grate . I got the rack pretty much done except for paint and as long as I was using my woodworking tools did the rack top.

I really like where you're going with this build, it is one of my current 'inspiration' bikes.

Keep it coming....
