I am throwing my hat in the ring for the heck of it. I have the tank to start.

Tank and a cool shifter!
 
I got out the paint stripper gel and some sand paper for that horrible tank paint scheme. Here's what I came up with.

Dug out a crusty Shockmaster fork for a possible piece. I may use a couple. I like the pre-war tubular legged ones better.

I also dug out some crusty Rollfast Roamer duck tail fenders, now where did I put my cutting wheel?

I think the old green paint is going to go over the next couple of days as well.

Cheers.
 
Ya gotta love a CWC Straight Down Tube Frame for a Buildoff Bike - I think it's the perfect beginning. I've got two different top bar configurations with my '38s - one is just like yours and then my Buildoff Frame has the parallel Top Tubes. I'm just happy to have one of each. But a Comet Tank beats a piece of PVC any day of the week - great start. Have Fun! Robert
