I’ve seen the D4 as a deluxe bike with tank, rack, and lights—would be a D4T model. I don’t think this particular bike originally had the deluxe stuff on it —nothing but desire and a checkbook standing in your way from making it happen! Have fun with it. V/r Shawn
 
A bit of an update on this one. @Mr. Monkeyarms was nice enough to help me straighten out the original crank. It looks a ton better and matches the patina of the bike. I painted the rack a while back. Got pretty close on the color but I wish I wouldn't have painted the whole rack then roughed it up by sanding but rather tried a light fogging, missing some spots so it's uneven. I did use some rusting solution after the sanding. I also picked up a pair of Silver rays and should have a fork mounting bracket coming soon. Still need a red faceted glass reflector.... I'm sure one will pop up soon enough. I do need to rebuild the Morrow hub. It doesn't stop great... Might need the brake sleeve replaced but I'll know better when I get it opened up. I have been riding it a bit.

@Balloonoob Lookin' Good so far. As far as the texturing goes buddy; chunky sea or rock salt after spraying water on the rack & then mist your colors over that. The salt won't allow each coat to cover where ever it is, allow to dry/brush off & repeat for each coat or color as desired. They do models that way to give them that battle hardened look of paint knocked down to the different layers / metals
 
It’s really nice to see your progress. The rack is looking great and I can’t wait to see it sporty the dual Silver Rays (one of my dreams for a bike someday)! It’s also awesome that Mr. Monkeyarms was able to help out in salvaging the crank since it blends so well!
