I pulled the fenders and got the chain guard fitting better, in my opinion.

I have this set of fenders that were billed as Shelby. I think that they may be Shelby fenders, but the paint job isn't.

Set of Schwinn S-2 rims with fore brake shell. Sadly no brake guts. Probably my favorite set out of the bunch.

Finally, I'm sitting on a set of Berm Masters (24 x 3) that I would need to come up with a set of rims. Not 100% if they will fit though.
 
Did you just tell me to "Get ta buildin?" :21:
I'll get after it next weekend after working 12 hour days all this week.
Nope. I'm liking the pace. Doing the same. After hectic builds in the past, I kinda like that mode.
But get ta building.🤣
 
I like the red one. Sticks out more.
 
Worked on the fore brake hub today.
Found this at a thrift store today. It should make a good filler for the other side of the hub.

Chucked this up in the drill and ground down on the bench grinder while spinning.

Finished product.

I don't think I will try to add holes to match the other side. It got pretty flimsy after I ground the ring off. Plus it got pretty hard to hold onto while drilling.
 
Wicked parts collection and mockups.
Love the work on the brake hub cover.
