OK.... I'm way overdue on getting some pics posted. Spent the last week or so working through the kind of things that happen to a car when it sits for several years..... cleaned out the fuel tank, petcock, and fuel lines. Rebuilt the fuel pump and carb. Unstuck several valves, set the valves, and changed oil. Topped off the gearbox and greased everything with a zerk fitting. Unbelievably, the brakes work fine! I've put a couple hundred miles on it so far, then it developed a bad shimmy.... due to the dryrotted tire that developed a big bulge. New tires tomorrow and then I'll start daily driving it to work -- 75 mile round trip. If all goes well, I'll drive it to the Monument Show.

Here are a bunch of random pics......

Pretty cool man I like the odometer in the middle of the dash is that to remind you when to change the oil and set valves? The rear under the seat is awesome.
