Soup can piece works but the headbadge looks out of place. Lots of ideas cooking there, good mojo.

Thanks, It really came out better than I could have imagined. Haven't even begun to think about paint on this piece.

"Art deco fan" - I like it. Yeah, I am moving forward with the curved braces and bottom skirt.
I'll make the paint pull it together like Captain and Tennille :p:rockout:

I was kinda thinking that too looking at the photos. Maybe I could string up some fine fishing line where the seat tube would be and have the headbadge floating in the void. :crazy:

EDIT: I might come up with another idea for the headbadge, but I like the grill look of the ribbed soup can too much to cover it up with even a cool badge like this one.

I agree that chicken soup grill is to nice to cover up.:)

Wow you're a busy bee..:D Best use of a soup can I've seen.

I also like the look of the wire braces but looks like you got something good cooking with the tubular curved ones. I think the spacing being exactly even between each brace and the seat stay will be critical on those.

Agreed

Ta Da ! :)
 
Also when I was playing around yesterday, I came up with a modification to my top tube grill idea. A spinning turbine grill.

Playing around with a few things the past couple of nights.
The teardrop pedals are narrower ladies pedals and I have these Person Supreme blocks that I would like to use but I have to find some donor pedals that I can steal the center section from first.

Installed the headtube shroud and have the hood scoop bracket cut. Just have to drill and tap some holes in the headtube.

I never did test a rear fender on here yet, so I had these peaked CWCs handy. The curved braces work well with the skirt curve. Only problem is it's not quite wide enough for the tire. I may see if I have some fatter fenders to try.

That fender looks tight! And I mean as in, "Looks tight." Great look on your build KF!

That ribbed section is so pretty that I would be tempted to mount that badge on the seat tube instead, except... yep. Looking great.

I am a +1 on gowjobs comment...that ribbed portion is cool...it's your grill!
 
I have wanted red wheels with whitewalls on this build and I have never had a kickback 2 speed, so I just ordered a set of 3G 57mm checkerboard kickback wheels in red from the RRB Store.

My LBS had a set with tires for sale, except they were the blue, and they were AWESOME looking, good choice
Think you might do an alternate rim tape color??
