@higgens graciously donated an ugly old girls frame ;) toward the cause. Some heating helped match the curve nearly spot on, before it was further trimmed into shape.

A front fender was not present when this frame-set was discovered. My plans were to modify a skylark fender, using mostly the forward tip. Something that I learned only recently is that the skylark’s fender is slightly longer than the bluebird’s, by around 3/4“ inch.
Here is a photo comparing the two, lining up the fork mounting holes along side each other.

To avoid having to fill that giant void where the skylark lamp assembly used to be, I’ll instead use a rear skylark fender for the bulk of the form. I’ll shorten it before grafting in the tip of the skylark front, then trim the long rear flare to match the factory length of an original bluebird front. The shared profile between the front and rear fenders of these bikes will allow me to accomplish a nearly identical to factory front for this Bluebird.
