If i could give any advice about chains, try the Z1E HX EPT.Tried to fix the double posted pics, got frustrated, so here goes try #2.
So, took the rear wheel to my LBS to get it properly laced and trued, that should take about a month.
Before getting further into the paint stripping, decided to get the ‘squat’ out of the rear of the frame. Here’s a comparison of where it was and areference pic (the yellow one)

After the holiday, gonna make arrangements to get it welded in place. The chain(s) came in this week too. KMC RustBuster. With the humidity and salt in the air here, they have become my ‘go to’ choice.

gonna get back to stripping paint, may do the chainguard so I can mock up the paint scheme (nothing crazy, more of a subtle one this time around)
Stay tuned!

Should be able to get a good ‘tuck’ on this one! Hahahahaha! Hardly, like @kingfish254 said to me, now the ‘Hump’ will be in my back!
Just need to hone out the BB shell a little to fit the crankset cups to finish the mock-up
Just some generic ‘3 speed’ or mustache bars, nothing specialDang, DrT that's good stuff. What bars is those?
Humpster is going on a month hiatus while I handle my ‘honey do’ list and a beach vacation with the wife’s family
