At least the fenders on those look like they fit the bikes! It seems like there are a lot of them turn up with aftermarket fenders that don't match the curve of the tires and look terrible.

Personally, I have never been a big fan of fenders on a bike. But the OE Schwinn fenders from a Heavy Duti, or a Typhoon fit the best on these bikes.

Really nice turn around, did you use spray cans or do you have a sprayer? S-2 wheels?

You may want to ad a chain tensioner if you are going to leave that much slack in the chain!
