Furyus,
Your build turned out great! Love the inspiration photo of you as a child on your Cotton Picker circa 70. Cool idea to build a similar one some 40 years later!
The very best part is that you still have that childlike enthusiasm and love of bikes even now. I see that sweet, hopeful, creative little 9 year old boy in you every day (no matter what you are doing) — it's one of the many reasons I love you.
Love,
Baby Doll
Post Script - The inner tube streamers are way cool too!
