Just a few pictures of the shop mid rearrange . It's such a mess I can't bring my self to touch the bike I'd hate to lose something having to move it around.
And here's a photo of the first bike i did for my self it's a 80s huffy with a mild rear stretch

Dang that bike is just plain sick looking...

I'm also building on a Schwinn, but mine is a 58' Wasp which will have a 3hp AH600 Tecumseh 2 stroker on it.
