Thats good to hear. Now I'm interested in your progress too. Maybe we can help each other through this ordeal, you know, mutual support.
I'm just now getting mine to run decent again from the fuel problem I discussed earlier in this thread. Finally, after a new fuel tank kit, filters, new carb (had it for 3 yrs but never installed, left over from another project), some timing and carb tuning, and its now running good enough to drive it again, but not as good as it was before.
My current plan is to drive it as much as I can this summer, then this fall I'm going to put it in the garage that we cleaned out at my wife's disabled grandmother's house and take it down to bare metal and do body work, so me and a bud can paint it Azure Blue, with a semi flat black taillight panel. I'm going to paint everything except the front clip because it mostly just needs to be replaced. So my goal is for this time next year to have a nice paint job except for the front fenders, hood, and headlight buckets.
