Moving along slower than I expected. Getting a few hours in here and there, and thought I better update this post.
Wheels built and trued.
Painted darts on frame.
Getting paint on the tanks.
Finally test fitting tank.

Re: ****The Better Half****
That paint certainly speaks volumes about your prep sanding and smoothing.
Quality like that doesn't often come out of. a high volume factory often.
I remember when I was into old cars that often the replacement carpets and paint work on a 'restoration' was often too good compared with the 'original' factory items and concours judges often dropped points because of it.
This site is one where excellence is appreciated as you can see from the comments. Keep up the great work and inspire the rest of us.

Started putting it together, I still have to paint the rack, waiting on handlebars to arrive and have to figure out a seat.

Here is hoping for good news on handlebars and rack.
This looks so good I can't help waiting for the finished bike.

Re: ****The Better Half****
Bars came, truss rods, crank installed, test fitting tank.
Gettin a idea on how the rack will look.
Lay back post on its way, just have to decide on seat and grips.
