I have posted in the Colson Project thread, but wanted to start my own as well.
Here's what I started with:

Here's what it looks like as of today.
I ditched the ladies pedals and added some Torrington 8s that I had on hand.
Installed 50mm wheelset with Shimano Nexus 3 speed. Going to have to either reroute or shorten the shift cable, but just wanted to get it all together for now.
Installed rack I picked up at ML.
Also picked up a drop stand at ML but have to find a clip for it.
Bought a guard that will be installed once it arrives.

I'm leaving it like it is as far as paint goes. Guess I forgot to mention its a rat rod.
I have the drop stand for it, and have to figure out what grips I want to use. Maybe a different seat if I find one I like and possibly a headlight. Then I think it'll be done.

Put the drop stand on today, now I need to find a couple small screws to install the clip. Didn't take a pic with the stand installed because it started raining.
 
Well it's nearly done. Just waiting on a set of grips I ordered, and I need to figure out what I want to mount on the front fender. And I still need to figure out how to shorten the shifter cable.
Today I swapped out the ratty looking Troxel for a nice comfy seat, and took some better pics in the sun.
