I think it would be cool if the Build Journals for all 3 classes were in one place. Obviously the 'Finished Bikes' need to to be broken out by class so the admins can set up the voting booths. The chaos and energy could be fun. I'm sure there are a few builders who will try to keep us guessing...

For your consideration. First time RRBO entrant. 1959 Schwinn 20" frame, custom dropout extenders, re-upholstered seat, mix-n-match parts from the bin. Build journal here- https://ratrodbikes.com/forum/threads/better-late-than-never.116399/

DONE!!! This was fun. It's hard for me to participate in the Build-Off as we do an entry into an adult soapbox derby race every year that overlaps the Build-Off almost exactly. So I jammed this in from a few days after our race on Aug. 20 to today. I'm pretty happy with the result. Rode it up...

Mmmm, krusty.

I forgot that I had the slingshot stem so that problem is solved.

Or low?

High?

3 coats of gloss lacquer.

I lucked out on creating the fauxtina. Just some hand sanding with 320 & 220 sand paper and a wire brush. There are a couple different colors under the primer. It did leave some scratches that I don't like so even higher grit next time.
