Hey Rogue21, that's a nice chop you're building there, looks great. If you don't mind I need to raise an issue about your brake stay, though.. I've taken the liberty of downloading one of your images and drawn some lines with ms paint to illustrate my point then I'll offer a solution. Hope you don't mind but I do think it important.
The red line I drew shows the line between hub centre and the brake stay lock nut on the hub and it's pretty much in line with your brake stay which isn't a good thing tbh.
The blue line shows the path the brake stay bolt on the hub would take if no brake stay was fitted, when you apply the brakes it's going to go round and round, orbitting the hub. The yellow line shows the immediate line of directional force the bolts wants to go when the brake is applied, the force always acts tangentially when fixed to a tie rod. What this means is when you apply brake force your tie rod is going to get pulled down. It might not move a hell of a lot but over time it could well work harden that flattened bar and crack it which won't be nice. Ideally the forces need to be transferred along the length of the tie bar as a tensile load. As it is most of the stress is going to be on the thinnest part of it where it meets the frame.
The green lines show how to arrange it so braking forces are transferred into the tie rod as a tensile load rather than a flexing load. The bolt on the hub plate hangs straight down and the brake stay / tie rod goes to it horizontally meeting at a right angle to each other. This is pretty much how stock bikes are set up.
I realise you want to keep the lines clean and have it look uncluttered but safety is more important. Saying that.,... there is a solution or 3.
You could either let the hub plate hang down and extend your stay / tie rod until it meets it at 90 degrees... doesn't have to be exactly 90 but 90 is optimum.
or weld a sturdy bung to the inner side of your frame, see black spot in image, and somehow bolt you stay/tie rod to it.
Lastly... I just found this

and it's probably what I'm going to do, just so damn tidy and looks rock solid... depends how my wheel goes up in my david bird hooptail, I should be able to get that tucked in there.
Good luck with it, have ya made any more progress since last post?
