Making my first fixie Peugeot AO-8

Pick up this rust/dust bucket at a garage sale yesterday for 15 bucks, spent the rest of the day stripping it down/cleaning it.

Then it struck me how beautiful the bike looked without components! I wanted a fixed gear! (makes entrance to fixie society)





What is the easiest/cheapest way to make this into a fixie? btw, the rear wheel is a flywheel.

My lbs (rock n road) told me that:
Track Hub = 45 bucks
Spokes = 36 bucks
Labor = 40 bucks
Cog = 30 bucks
Lockring = 15 bucks...

Thats kind of pricy, or should i find some parts off CL?

Thanks guys
