Had to cover the down tube and someother parts in Bondo to fill the pits. Sanded and smooth now.

Looks good so far!

I have a'36 CWC frame that matches that fork you got from Dogdart. I thought about jumping on the fork, but I have way too many projects. I'd never get around to it! I love the truss supports on that fork!

So I've had enough time to get my game plan going for this build.

Just finished painting the frame ivory.

So with that done, I'm kinda modeling this after a fender guitar called a lonestar strat. They came with gold hardware and this crazy ivory kandy. Less the kandy paint and gold and that's my intention.

The forks I got from dogdart65 are getting worked too. Pits are gonna get filled with bondo and I ended up ditching the truss rods. I'm gonna used small bore copper tubing instead since there is no structural purpose for them.

Pics to follow shortly

Look forward to seeing how that turns out.

So for the chainwheel, I have a really specific one in mind. I'm looking to buy this. If you have one, pm me with your price.
