That looks like a nice start.
Good luck.
 
Great project. I have a set of correct rims, white w/ blue pin striping. LMK if interested. It may look better with blue and white pin striping though.

jacob....thanks for the offer...i scored a pair of blue ones with prewar hubs a day ago. May not match the dx blue but ive seen a dxs with mix match blue wheels and the dx blue which im guessing is egg shell blue....ill find out when it comes together.
 
I m going to use this post war balloon fork with og blue paint....hopefully the blue matches somewhat and no buggered hole...a bonus...but screw hole appears to have never been tapped....odd...
