Back at it! I had some back issues that kept me out of the garage. Feeling better now. I chose to use the black fork pictured but patina painted it to match the frame.
Next I installed the truss rods and wheels.
Found some bars and an SR drop stem.
Removed the black paint from the stem, and installed the brick red grips.
Getting close to being done! I need a new chain and a few small odds and ends.

Looks nice, great tire choice.
Last changes to my bike are done, just need to take some pics.
Added a headlight.
And the final piece of the puzzle.
I had this for last year's build off but didn't finish it. It was blue with yellow lettering, which is what California used in the 70's. The yellow with black lettering is from the 1950's and I felt it was more fitting with the style of the bike. Finding the correct yellow was a bit of trouble but Google came to the rescue!
