I haven't really looked into too much yet, I am starting with the engine work. Obviously, it needs to be redone.... there is some surface rust creeping and lifting the paint in spots. I have been just band-aiding it for some time, because I have been doing other projects. I will be doing a lot Of sanding eventually, and then make a determination whether I need to do some sand-blasting, stripping, sanding, replacement panels, welding, etc. Then repaint.

And there is always the 50 dollar paint job option.... But I don't think I have the patience.... Or the time. .

Have you seen this old link... It has been around for years:

BTW, can you see the pics on my blog for the homemade wrenches? I had a problem loading them last night, and I don't know if my efforts to correct the problem today were successful.

Thanks.
