RRBBO Black Saab Rat
Thanks for the comments, guys!
Hope the moped-f o r k works out, looks okay so far... It's a bit heavier than a normal f o r k, I hope it turns good. If not, I've got an old ATB f o r k for spare. 
Máááán, you can't write f o r k or f u e l t a n k , it's all flip,flip,flip, what the #@&*?!  
What the F O R K?
Yeah it took me like 5 minutes to see "the guy" trying too steak your bike. Boy im slow.We were Eating Potatoe's..drinking Cambells soup...
and Blowing up The Old Lady next door. ..you know, the usuall Friday night Stuff.
Did some small detail work this morning. Saw nice dice valve caps on the net, and thought: I can do this myself with old dice!
Drilled a hole (through the 1), made a flip hot and flipped it, while turning into the dice. Works!  
After making the valvecap-dice, I tried to fit the bearings of the moped-forq into the frame...they were too big (see picture). Tried the bearings of the ATB-forq I got on spare: way too big, forq doesn't even fit the tube, so no ATB-forq on spare. Luckily I found bearings in my bike-trash-crate that would fit! And they're in a cup-holder-thingy, so that's even easier when putting it all together.
lookin good Skywalker..
I love those forks... peace, Kev. Pin-it !
Thanks Kev, here's the frame and forq put together. It works! Had to fill some space (about half an inch) with rings, but it turns nicely! Been a good day for the rat!
That is so TOUGH looking!
wow..I love it.. that is a seriously turning into a wicked looking Rat!!!! I have not seen Spring Forks like that since the 70's style Moto-x ( dirt bike looking ) kids bikes.. It brings back a whole bunch of VERY GOOD memories of when I was a kid! keep it up Skywalker... that is an incredible looking Bike! peace, Kev. Pin-it !
Thanks guys!
Are those the same bikes I remember, Kev? With plastic f ueltanks, looking like genuine motocross flips? I'm now cleaning an old set of wheels, chrome is a quite stained and the bearings are really dirty. 
i LOVE those forks I can see a big old king bee headlight stiffed in there
 What I lack in pure craftsman skills I make up for in precision eyeballin

Oow! Nice one! Does look a bit like mine (see page 1).
But this one 's very very good! Thanks Hooch.
yaa..that's the one Skywalker.
The plastic tanks..and rear springer shocks that BOUNCED you over the bars when you landed a jump!   Pin-it !
Those were beep'!
Oh, I can't say b i t c h i n ' ... But no 'flip' ?! LOL!
Today I polished the rims, cleaned the coaster brake thoroughly and put everything back together. The wheels are pretty okay, they're not totally straight, have to do some work there. I never took a coaster brake apart before, but it was a piece of cake ; )
