The grill needed some straightening and tweaking but turned out nice
The side panels just needed a few dings straightened. Blasted and painted they look good
The bushing was sloppy on the distributor so it couldn't be timed, with a different one it was stable.
After sitting outside as long as this had, giving the carburetor a cleaning was deemed a good idea
The side panels are mounted with new hardware, lots of fasteners
The carburetor looks nice but the loose muffler with one of the bolts broken doesn't
The center rail cleaned and painted, this piece didn't get much else done to it
The radiator shroud needed lots of straightening and work before painting
The tank strap was just stripped and painted, one of the quicker pieces
The new choke knob from Steiner looks like it should
It leaked from under the thermostat housing so that had to get a new gasket and sealing
The thermostat tested fine in hot water opening and closing when it should and now no leaks
Really looks different with the grill and new badge up front
The loose muffler needed to be addressed.
The top bolt that was there broke too so both needed
to be drilled and tapped.
With new bolts the muffler doesn't flop around anymore
Now if the hood panels were ready
