As a former plumber I'd be concerned about the strength of those gorgeous bars, copper bends real easy. If you filled them full of expanding foam you'd increase their resistance to bending substantially, Bianchi do it to stiffen up their frames around the bottom bracket area.

I have not had too much time to do any work on it lately. Today I had a friend weld the holes in the frame. I did paint the wheels a week ago. I painted the tank to see what it would look like. It will have to be stripped and the dents cleaned up.

This is a mock up of the bike. I am not sure what seat I will use. It will be done before the deadline. More time off work next week should get most of it done.

Not much time left and I have a ton of work to do. I found time to primer the frame and tank. The small stuff has to get done yet. I have 1 more day off before the finish deadline. This will be close. I have to find the crank for it. I put it away and cannot find it. Have to work on the bars yet.
