Thanks B-man! I don't know about first rate restoration, maybe a rejuvenation, but, whatever you want to call it, it will be a dependable fun driver when done. It's getting more attention than I thought it would receive in such a short time, but it will be ready for the nice weather this May.

We did discover the engine 'lean' to the driver side is due to collapsed factory motor mounts, the driver side being particularly bad, so new ones from Ames are on the list of parts to be ordered next week. We also have new DGA10S 2.5" mandrel bent downpipes also on order that will tie into the 2.25" exhaust system it has now (fairly new...10-12 years old and still shiny in places) along with new MagnaFlow (straight-thru design) mufflers to replace the Midas corks that are on there now.
