That's a cool idea. I did something similar with a hacksawed-off front end of a bike (headtube, forks, stem, bar, and lengths of TT and DT). I spaced (crudely bent) the fork out to 130mm and use a 130mm skewer in there. If you thread some spacers onto the skewer, you can use it to do wheel dishing (again, in a fairly crude way).

Truing stand. Not a single new part required, just a spare stock rack.
Need to figure out a way to get a solid axle in there (suggestions?), but thru axles possible with QR adapter.
A dial would be nice too because that arm is a bitch to adjust (edit: ordered the one that @Batt linked back in the thread)
Dishing may be the difficult bit given that the support arm bits have to bend to close on the hub. Won't be reliably centred every time.
