Wanted to share the news! I have a rolling chassis now and work is progressing much faster now.

I have gotten the head tube welded on and I will be ready tonight to add the steering, brakes and maybe the parts returned to the bottom bracket. I am hoping for a test ride this weekend.

I also wanted to let you guys know that I found the rod ends for a good price at LeftHander Chassis. I went on the web site and found them for $3.49 each of course they are within 10 miles of my house so that is rather nice. This is also where I got my tubing which they cut for me at the same time.

Congratulations. It looks like a bike to me, and good grab on those rod ends at that price.

Well done, it's looking great! Good score on the end rods. I remember mine costing $20 each!!

Thanks everyone! I have made more progress and will update the pictures when I can. I had a problem finding a steel gooseneck in my pile of parts so I had to make a bracket to mount to an aluminum gooseneck that came from the original donor bike. I will post the pics as soon as I can for this also.
