Made some progress today on the Model C, pedals on their way, but still need some crossbar handlebars!

Looking good so far! Are you going to paint the fenders to match the tank or distress the tank to match the fenders?
 
What kind of camera are you using...makes everything look sharp....bikes looking good...appreciating the breakdown of the process...
 
why is this called a c model and not a straight bar?
This has been discussed in another thread or two, I will try and find it... Basically, the "tank" opening is a bit narrower, and the straight section in the top bar is longer in the C model.
 
Finally tightened up the last fasteners on this bike. I like to drop the rear from about 6 inches to test for rattles, this one is tight. First ride today after 40 years of yearning. Now it comes apart for blasting, plating and paint work. More progress posts to come.
