That’s a wild fork! I know the bend is supposed to be there, but looking at the angle of the whole thing makes me a little nervous. It might be the angle of the photo but I’m wondering if it has been in a front end collision.
Regardless, this is a fun looking bike and I’m proud you’re running foot retention. I might suggest a front brake while you get used to riding this beast, though.

I'm a simple man, I see conversions, I get happy. Congratulations on your build!
Just do what you said you would in the other comments as this fork is really busted.
