Bro, you know that space is really my wife's barn! My shop is a mess & unheated. Trust me, you don't want to see it! She just felt sorry for me & is letting me use it until it warms up. I try not to let her into my shop to keep myself out of trouble.
I think I have my parts rounded up. I have had most of this stuff for a while, other than the custom made sprocket. I won't be spending any money on paint & stuff like that. All I need so far is a few nuts & bolts & maybe a short piece of skip tooth chain.
Ready to roll!

Still not much progress! Running the grandson to Basketball & work schedule have occupied most of my time. I have done a little mock up & am currently force rusting my new sprocket. No pics yet, but hope to make some more progress & post pics tomorrow eve. My plan tomorrow is to pursuade the front fender into fitting the Monark fork. Back one fits with no issues.
Excuses, excuses!! 
Ahhh... fender persuasion I foresee much of that in my own future

I guess if mine ends up fenderless, you will know it didn't work out!
Convinced the front fender into fitting the monark fork. Used a notched block of wood, a piece of a broom handle & a C-clamp. No fancy tools here! Did a little mock up here is where I'm at so far:
I like this.....A LOT!!! 
Yeah me too. Lo tech rocks.

That's me "Lo Tech, or No Tech"! I still don't know how to operate a microwave!
Skip: I've learned a lot from watching your builds & daily riders! Can't think of one I don't like.
What's a microwave? Does it clean bike parts?
Sweet work going on here Pick!!! So far all of the parts blend together well!
No, but the dishwasher does! Just don't do it when the wife is home.

Whadaya mean "no fancy tools here!" ... that blue thing holding your bike proudly in the air looks pretty fancy-schmancy to me... what luxury! But yeah... those guards do look nice...

Looking good Pick!

My wife got tired of holding bikes up while I worked on them, so she let me get a stand. I've had it a couple of years, It's one of the cheaper Park stands, but works great for me. I also don't have to listen to her griping, so it's a win, win!
