(Updated!) Fastest BTR build?

Hey ive just been lurkin for a while on here and i finally started my BTR project, i started it on tuesday(been gathering some parts for a while) and it needs to be finished on monday... so ive got about a 6 day build process, started off with a oldish cycle pro mens cruiser, chopped it up, then bent and welded in some steel i found, did all that on tuesday, and fabed up mounts for a 49 china girl yesterday.

Whats the hurry? if you want to cover up the folds in the down loop tube make a faux crank case cover, like mine in "Blood Thursty"
 
need it for a 1920s day event at my high school, i really wanna make one in the future, just dont got the time.
painted it today

Well so far looks like your doing a fine job and this little experience will make the next build easier and not being in a rush on the next one will also give you the oppertunity to do all the thing's you couldn't with this one, but for a tweenties theme (I'm Guessing?) reunion/get together you are nailing it.
 
thanks, finished it(well ill probably never call it finished but it looks good and runs) last night after fiddling with the chain and a loose rear wheel till 8, threw out the tensioner and it worked. yeah tires are cream brick duros, which were the most expensive part of the bike, ($30 shipped for a pair) only spent about $38 on the btr total, almost everything is recycled. used some old handle bars and bent/welded exhaust, used garage door chain + 1" steel, it goes on and on. ill post pictures tonight after the event, havent seen my copper tank hangers in the light yet hahah
 
Wow sorry for completely ditching this site, been so caught up with college and my car, amongst many other motored projects...
here's pics from the event, and a few others, wish i had more for you guys but ill be pulling it out to overhaul it soon, might even make a real tank(especially since the faux one was hit by falling debris and it crumbled) build was completed night before the event on the 26th, whole thing was built in pretty much 6 days so theres plenty of kinks ill need to work out soon lol.
Btw i won best of show(only award there was lol) got an award and $300! :D

At the event,



months later taking it for a spin


inspiration(from a member on here i think)



ill provide a parts list if you guys are interested, used some pretty crazy recycled parts hahah
