I have the label at top centre to the valve at the bottom centre
I got Diggler to build my wheels so the logoson the Hutch hubs faced you when the valve were at bottom centre too :D
Stamping on the chainring at top centre when drive arm points to 3 o'clock
Basically anything with writing/logo on it has to face the drive side and be central
OCD is a must ;)

Hi Daz
The build looks great, I'm a straight post kind of guy and personally prefer more post showing so that the top of the seat lines up with the highest part of the cross bar on the Handlebars, but each to there own of course.
So glad that you kept the original chrome as so many have been re-chromed or powdered over the years.
If I remember the SKYWAY logo and knurling on the forks and rear dropouts were in near mint condition. To keep them looking fresh you can use dropout savers to protect (if you have already used these great).
Letting that F&F go was one of my big regrets and I often thought about it and how good it looked. I also used to log in on here over the years and see if you had done any updates, glad that you have finally got it built up (doesn't time fly by).
Hoping that all is well.
J.
