I'm riding it but I still want to do a few more things to her.
Here's the link to where I started last year.

I went with a repop rear fender, the old one was pretty thrashed, but I did fashion some old flat braces to match the front. Yard sale rack from a 70's Schwinn with the rat trap removed, repurposed front wheel from the same yard sale that I painted, aftermarket rear wheel. Repop seat, still have the springer seat that was on the bike, needs some TLC so I'll probably stick with the new one. I'm undecided on trying to fashion a skiptooth cog for the rear since I have the skiptooth sprocket and chain, I kinda like the red and black 1/2" pitch one on there now.
Things left to do: headlight, maybe a frame insert between the top tubes, since this was my father's bike I'm thinkin' about a tribute to him, a wooden crate attached to the rack with something like "Lowell's Speed Shop" painted on it.
