I'm probably going to start withthe rear plates, it looks like I'll be able to go from the CB mounts to the web the swingarm mounts on in a pretty straight shot.

Waiting on funds mostly. Also waiting on title paperwork. Didn't want to get too deep before knowing I can get it on the road. Since it's been off the road so long it takes the state a while to confirm it's out of the system.
I`m going thru the same stuff here in australia for my F2 . It is an american import , so never registered in this country . That means it has to be engineer certified to show it complies with "ADR" australian design rules . This gets you what is called a mod plate and that has been done , so now I have to get "CTP" compulsory third party insurance . Then I can take it to get a roadworthy report and finally go to a licensing department to pay for and get vehicle registration , phew what a chore . I cannot wait to be able to ride it . I will enjoy watching how your build goes , it should be good
Yeah, the issue with this frame is it hasn't been tagged since the 70s. So it wasn't in records anywhere. So a month was waiting for the state to admit that it didn't have ownership records, then file a form and wait another 30 days to wait for them to say we'll allow you to get a title, and another few weeks to get the title request approved so that I could take it to a tag agency to get a VIN inspection. So slow, but not too bad.

This is coming along all the same. That is a cool rear setup. Will be interesting to see what you do with this

Smart move, when I built my Triton back in 1972 the chain ran too near the swinging arm pivot and if it got a bit slack it chewed into it.

It should have been fine where it was, but a little extra clearance won't hurt. The sprocket is closer to the pivot than on most tritons or even the original atlas engine. But it is a bit lower than those are.
I got the front wheel I'm going to use, it's heavy and more for looks than anything else, but it should look good polished up. GT750 4ls.

Looking good, how's your screw cutting?

Pretty good. I did m25x1 for the nuts to tension the bearings. I happened to have some that size from a xs650, and it works with the 25mm ID bearings that fit the featherbed.
Next big piece will be the axle. I have to adapt the cbr forks to a 15mm axle. There's no good way to run larger bearings in the gt750 hub.
