Thanks, I am working on the tank and chainguard now.

Did some work on the warbonnet, sort of getting together. My springer fork won`t work with the front axle going through the fender like I have it, I will have to give it the indian sort of shape, but I think I will leave it for a while and use it as it is.

A Aren`t you supposed to use that hinge with a 1873 banana seat?

I do have a springer fork but I wanted to use the old elgin fork with the frame, but that is a good idea, I will have to see how much trouble it is to use it as it is. With a longer fork I could use my long fender without much trouble, thanks.

Thank you, I think your bike is going to be real cool, I think your fenders are going to be great on it, I hope to see it all together soon!

I got the rear fender mostly painted, I might paint the ridges around the cutouts and the ridges on the chainguard purple to match the rest of the fender.

Thank you, I am going to make a matchng chain guard if possible.

Speedway motors is helping me my tank cover with cardboard, I have a shape I like made with cardboard and bondo, I will make a mold off of it and make a glass tank cover.

I got the fenders painted and got some whitewall tire paint for my tires, the paint I had on them turned yellow and looked awful, so maybe this stuff will stay white.

Painted my fenders and wet sanded them to get scratches and defects out, will repaint them the same colors. They look orange but they are red.

I would go with the patina and drink more beer!

I like your cadillac!, it is your`s right??? great to load up with yard sale bikes.

Getting my fenders fitted for whizzer fender tips, both fenders still need work.

I did some work on the front fender today, made some fender braces yesterday and tried them on for size, I think I will put the back end of the front fender I cut off, back on in front, I think a longer front fender will look better.

I sure am going to try, I am building two bikes, the elginator in class 1 and this one, the elginator is getting close so I hope to get them both done in time, but time is slipping away.

I really do like the look of the front fender matching the rear fender but you are right it would get beat up. I may have to shorten it like you suggested.

Got the toolbox fiberglassed, I made it smaller so I could make it in just two pieces, the box and the door I will have to cut in it, hopefully I will be able to get it inside the frame a fastened when finished without scuffing it up, it is a tight fit already.

I made a rough copy of the back part of the rear fender and put it on the front fender to see what it will look like, it will take some trimming and work for fender braces if I choose to put them on. I will also have to becareful when turning and pedaling or my feet and pedals will hit the fender.

A lot of things get dammed around here!

Thank you, I hope to get to the front fender soon, it should be a lot less work than the rear one.
