!!!-UPDATE-!!!
Well today i got alot of work done on my rrbbo bike, i changed tires, changed crank and chainring, pedals and fixed goosneck. I need to adjust the fender bracket because where it is now when its bolted down the tire rubs, heres some pictures of what i did today...
Well i got the stock forks back on and changed my fender.
Heres the picture of my sprocket and pedal arms 2 gether, i had 2 put shorter ones so they wont smack the ground when im turning and pedaling
Ta'da its inthe bike now
Heres a hole i drilled in the fender to mount it right...
Annnnnnnd heres an IDEA Of what she will look like, need 2 adjust fenders still but i came it, it was only 7 degrees out and i was out there from around 3:10 till 6:45, yeah i was freezing..
Heres my little asistant im teaching him the basics of working on a bike, His name is devin and hes 9..
Anddd thats it for today.

Nice work dude. I must admire the fact that you seem to work outdoors. Great going. 
Yeah, i cant work in the house no room.. Note all the ice on my garage floor, the ppl next door raised there ground up when they put down some dirt, now every time it rains our garage/backyard fills with water. Makes me mad.
Thank you buckaroo and hooch, its so darn cold outside
The bikes looking REAL good! Very classic RatRoddy looking. I love that rear tire on the bike. Kinda reminds me of the old Pickup trucks that use to run around with big snowtires on the back!
Thanks chain, i like the look 2 i need to fix the fenders, im gonna get some new apes also.... I also have a "suprise" thing for the chaingaurd...
Yeah And steve, haha, that impalla was the 1st car i drove i was 9 years old my mom let me drive it up north, She dont trust me no more, I hope i get that car when i get my licence, im gonna get it repainted and the dents pulled, get it reuhpolsterd, fix the tie rods (their bad) fix the mail seal it leaks, and beef up the motor and put some flowmasters on it.. And maybe some american racing salt flat rims.. i think thats what there called. Yeah i love that car <3 haha

Thanks alot kev, i think she looks alot gooder too.. I dont like the gap in front of the back tire between the fender and tire, How should i fix it?
I,m not sure how yours mounts..
but you may try a Rubber Bushing/Washer( in black ) as a spacer.
It will have a bit of "Give" from the bouncing around because it's rubber.
It's about the size of a Dime and as thick as 4 dimes stacked..
Plumbing section..hardware store..
but again..I can't see how it mounts!

Haha you like that? i didnt have no 26 inch mounting brackets so i mounted it on the little tab behind the kickstand and the little cross support thing, ill take pics, it does look pretty cool. Haha i kinda looks like its floating there
