Frame Work and Mockup

I got my new wheel and tire in today. They unfortunately sent me a 16" rim instead of an 18" rim. So I am sending that back for an exchange. However I removed some of the rear end to make room for the new rear wheel. It is starting to take shape.

I am messing around with some axle plate designs. I have settled on this style, it looks like a looped hardtail but is very simple.

Last night I took my fender to my neighbors to plasma cut some of the sides off since it rolled all the way around the wheel. I just want a fender to cover the top of the tire and match it's profile. After I got it back I had to do some pounding to shape it how i wanted it. Here is a picture with the fender and seat. Final plan is the fender will start at 12 o'clock and end between 3 and 4 o'clock. The seat will be about an inch or two back as well.
