I flipped the stem which came from a Mongoose Dolomite and added the fog light. The light is ratty black so maybe that ties in with the stem. My saddle may be black along with the grips.

To fender or not? The tires fill up the fenders well.

Love the tires, wings, and moons.
You may want until the tank is on to decide on bars. Sometimes the added visual mass can affect how the bars look.
Appreciate your input. I have a couple more bar candidates. I need to get a saddle on it to find out how the fit and geometry actually works.

Worked on the fenders this AM after having a rock chip repaired in windshield. Received the rock from a truck passing me and cutting back in very quickly, a real jerk.
I used Strong Arm brand rust remover and Turtle Wax Chrome Polish. The fenders still have some surface rust, but this is a rat rod bike so that's s good thing, right?

I found a dusty Felt Torqued Cruiser Seat in a LBS on Tuesday. They apparently had this around for awhile due to the dust on saddle and carrier board. It had "old pricing" so I snapped it up. Think it might work out. I had to make a couple of shims out of a scrap seat post and copper pipe to get it to fit in the Evans tapered seat post.
