Mounted the headlight and front fender today, I'm really liking where this is going.
Not sure yet. I have some perforated metal that I was thinking of making a grill out of, but it depends on the difficulty of making it and my patience. LOLThe lights look rad/rat/futuristic without the cover. Are you planning on leaving the front open so you can see inside?
Rat onBeen working on the Monark yesterday and today. I'm in the middle of imagineering new headlights and shroud. Using another pair of cheap LED flashlights again like on the Spaceliner, but this time they are connected to the switch in the tank. Making the shroud out of aluminum diamond plate. Not finished with it yet, but coming right along. Didn't originally want to use the diamond plate, but I had some on hand and wasn't too sure about going to Home Depot or TSC to look for anything else. Probably could find non diamonded aluminum the same thickness online, but I wanted to work on it today. Had enough diamond plate left over to dress up the tail end of the rack.

Ooohhh, action shots!
Speaking of rats... it seems someone needs to fabricate themselves a stay press.

does a great job of crimping dimples on the inside of the stays where we need it and keeping the outside of the stay rounded.
I've been quarantine loafing for a couple days, need to get out to the garage and realign the stance on mine. I think I need to cut a couple inches out of the chain stays. The seat stays are just a bit too high, don't line up with the top tube right. "Plenty of time..." I keep telling myself.

Going to use some kind of clamp around the seat post to mount the rack?Fooling with chain guard mounting. Also tried old Shelby rack for looks.View attachment 115611 View attachment 115612
