Something like that ?
In Florida you have a pit bull licence .
That'll be a nice wartime bike to bring back to its former glory. Best of luck to you in getting rid of the red paint and the salad bowl of colors underneath!
I picked up this rack of a vintage 26" import cargo bike because it had that military vibe . It might distract from the rest of theme and I'm kind of on the fence if I will us it ? Looking for opinions ?
Try getting the bike about where you want it, then see how it looks with the rack on it. You might have an easier time deciding then.
Let's see, that's $60 divided by 30 lbs, I guess dead rat is selling at $2.00 lb these days. 
That rear rack is really cool, but looks overpowering to the bike at this stage. I could definitely see that rack on a military fat bike build! Like a half-track on two wheels!

That is a big rack, but it is kinda hard to gauge how it might work with your build without seeing the full view instead of a zoomed in view. I could see it working if you had some cool military surplus mounted or hanging on it.
It is big and adds at least 30 lbs . I felt the same way it's too big . Who needs a stinking rack anyway ?
I have been looking for my favorite striping tool with no avail , guess I will buy another for next time .

Scored another piece of the puzzle and correct for G519 military bikes . Columbia peaked , duck tail fenders . Only piece I haven't came across is the skip tooth tombstone chain ring ?
Yesterday I made some alterations to a Troxel pan to resemble a Persons Majestic saddle .
Been also priming and working with an oil based spray paint on the remaining parts . Supposedly it's harder and more durable but takes forever to dry .

That saddle is sexy! Are you going to add some more springs to the bottom?
Need to find where I left the sawzall today ?
I'm not sure what your overall plan with the bike is. Maybe I missed what you said. Are you restoring to post-WWII originality? What's your plan with the paint? My thought: Uncover what stenciling you can and document what they are and how they look. A surplus store may be able to cutout some cardboard stencils for you. I'd find a close match the flat OD paint and the yellow stencils. Then I'd just sand blast and start over.
Somehow I need to turn these into flat fender stays . Anybody know what rivets were used back then ? My replacement fenders came in yesterday and it's raining today . So I'm researching .
