I say if you get an idea, "fly" with it! ( Skylark pun intended)

This mod is really cool. Gives it a very unique look. :thumbsup:
 
That schwinn tank is cool! I have never seen one like it.

I don’t think it’s actually a Schwinn tank it just some decals some one put on it. I’m not positive what bike it’s from . It almost fits this bike but it not perfect. With a few mods it will work nicely. I bought it from King Fish a couple years ago . Been waiting to build this bike for a long time .

It's a Ross style tank that a previous owner slapped some Schwinn stickers on. It's a pretty big tank. I think it's gonna work great with your build
 
Went down to my old buddy Ed’s welding shop today. You regulars may remember Ed he’s my neighbor & Vietnam veteran. I made the tail feather drop outs and Ed
Welded them on .

Ed’s metal shearer is pretty nice for cutting 1/8” plate

the big punch is nice for making the starter holes for the axel.

G, you are on a roll with this Skylark! My dad always said, "It takes the right tools, and a guy who knows how to use them."

Nice work on the cutting, and design of your drop outs. Kudos to Ed for his welding too. 2 guys + right tools = Good Results!

Thanks [emoji1303]
