That's looking good.

I'd ensure I have a fire extinguisher handy before starting the engine. Too many backfires/carbs leaking during start-ups in the past (You-Tube videos)...

I try to use the least aggressive method first. I would try a clay bar. Amazing how it can take trash out of paint.

It will be great to see it fully reassembled with the new paints scheme.

Well, its been a couple years.. a lot has happened.. lets see if i can continue this from where i left off... Switched from Flickr to Google Photos, sorry about the need to click links The entire album is HERE, everything else below will be a link to a particular photo Finished the undercarriage and most of the interior (need to find various trim pieces).

I'll try to be more active in the future, but im sure life will once again consume all of my free time!

She probably caught him synchronizing and maximizing his scavenging

I had a double failure one time- I had rebuilt the carb and when I went to start it, the float stuck, gas started pouring out all over AND the starter solenoid stuck. The engine kept cranking and gas kept pouring. Banging on the solenoid didn't help so I frantically took the battery cable off. Soooooo.... be prepared to take the battery cable off.
