Andy mate, you have been busy. This will look the business mate, and will be great seeing it in the flesh at Chester. All I would do is ditch the decal on the seat post, and replace it with the earlier foil coin decal to match your frame decals, that's just me though, it's your bike, build it how you want it.
NicePaint everyfink yellow, be ace!
andy that orange is a funky colour love it
Got the frame stripped and ready to send to Superbike Dan. Just waiting for a large box of bits to arrive from the USA including some 50th Anniversary alloy hubb'd Tuff IIs....
What paint stripper did you use please Andy, and where did u buy it?

There's a reason it's not available in B&Q and to be fair, I'm surprised it's available on eBay, but... it is the absolute mustard when it comes to removing coatings. Nothing comes close. Brush on, coating wrinkles up and falls off in seconds.

If Dan can do the media blasting I wont have to bother buying any stripper.
Dad??!!
When is the GT gonna be finished Andy?
