Punch list is shrinking. A good friend and fellow Taildragger is sending me some unsolicited parts! AND they're exactly what I need. Next I gotta get my Thunderbolt Greaseslapper moved over to the new/ old garage and liberate the sprocket. I believe it has the only Mag sprocket I have left on it and I have plenty of choices to replace it with. Beg, borrow and steal baby, this build is Going Nowhere Fast.
Some goodies on the way Carl!!
You should have them Tuesday!
Oh look at the underside of that banana.
Looks like a nice two piece that can be recovered.
BONUS POINTS! THANK YOU SKIP!

Here's a thing...
Looks like I'll be changing part of my paint scheme a bit.

Parts arrived today!
I want to work on the bike.
But my dogs are barking. I was thinking of playing at an open mic tonight but half a day remodeling with my oldest boy's company and half a day at the guitar repair shop has me feets crying plus I pigged out on salmon and leftovers. Now I'm in a recliner Going Nowhere Fast...
There's a lot going on here.
There's my kitchen guitar - an old Stella Sundale and my reconditioned Monkey Wards steel sink. A few books and hand tools on the old oak table. Oh, and a nice banana seat w/ sissy. Woohoo!
So glad you got the seat and sissy bar!! Rest those dogs and Get To Building soon
Haha! Couldn't wait, I had to see.
Seat looks good perfect adult size.
Thanks again my brother.
Bike looks great!! So glad the seat fits so well!
It's almost a roller...
Yes, definitely a roller now...
What to do with the right half of the "dash"...
I will add that getting the speedo up to 30 mph with a no drag empty rim is pretty hard to do. It's like downhill on a touring bike in first gear.

Cup holder, in a classic thin metal style
I was going to say a recessed beer can holder ! Add the calories and pedal them off !! Win Win !!
It's not that big. Maybe a 7 oz peewee beer can...
I do have a wifi speaker that would fit. Hmm...
Was out in the garage coaching my boy as he replaced all his brake pads and I finally mounted a tire. I haven't found a nice "slick" so I went with this neat old tire I've had for a while. I like the squares and diamonds tread...
You tell me this ain't a fun idea...
Pink fuzzy pedals would be
and one of a kind!
