Who came up with this crazy deadline anyway?
Only a couple of weeks to go!

Help Support Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum:
Still got 8-9 days left. I am hoping you make it.
I got a lot left yet too. Chain guard is being a challenge to straighten the rail. Mirror bracket needs fabrication, Backrest brackets didn't work out yet, new design needed.
Scratched list is growing:. Power and wiring
Lights
Air horns.
Wheelie Bars
On ALiEN FiRE: 
Only half of my lighting mounting is done...
no generator backup...
No airfoil, No disc brakes,
(This one is a money issue, my builds are on a bare budget)
and I still have to recover my seat...
On the Fruit Krate:
No 20 x 1 3/8 front wheelset,
and no Krate chain guard...
still waiting for the chain to show up...
and I still have to fab the wheelie bar...
Yeah I'm right on schedule...

Luke, I hope you make it, you are the main reason I stick around here. (other than the bikes! lol)

Re-cover the seat,
Clean the bike off old mounts and tabs,
Wire brush all the old paint off,

There's never enough time this last week during the holidays to get anything done. I have only to put my build together,the brake strap is the only thing not ready. So I have about 2 hours of work, I might barely make it, between the get togethers, parties, and family visits. I've got an extra day on this side of the world, but probably won't need it.
Updated list for "Mad Maxine":
Weld in new headtube to fit the forks, DONE!
Make and weld on disc brake calliper mounts, DONE!
Change to 20t freewheel, DONE!
Make an extra wide sissy bar that clears the tire,
Re-cover the seat,
Clean the bike off old mounts and tabs,
Wire brush all the old paint off,
Prime and paint,
Reassemble...
Still plenty to do, but happy to be making progress!

One day folks, who needed to hear that!?
Need to change the title of this thread Peter!
By the way, I read it as just over 47 hours to go as I post this...
