James, that is old school perfection...except for one thing I noticed in the pictures...you are missing the pinch bolt for the steering stem on your top triple!  That might make something bad happen.  PM me if you need one.
If it works good, it looks good...

Nice, good kid you got there. If I might make a suggestion, the blue cover on the valve cover is screaming for some pinstriping or some hand laid paint.

How about a front brake? If you're not gonna have one you should make it suicide clutch / jockey shift as well!!!!
