Throwing my hat on to the ring here's the bike as it sits now. The little work I did on it I did before the start of the contest, not sure if that disqualifies me or not. If it does I will bow out quietly.

went parts hunting to today did a little painting and made my head badge
my grandfather was in the 28th infantry division so i used his insignia for the head badge, he was also a brick layer so the keystone design has dual meaning.
