peter lena 9,255 #26 Posted May 28, 2021 @Dennis C. glad you are making gains on it , always concentrated on the basics / baseline issues just to get it going , then go after the detailing . those safety switches can be an issue , probably best to replace them , would just verify the operation and replace as you can . glad you did the trans , replace the shift boot ? that slight carb adjustment was lucky . i worked getting it all working then finished as needed . none of mine are show horses , but are paint clean ,and bulletproof solid . now that your wheels are good , how about a simple penetrant oil rub down ? found that a clean paint horse inspires you to go on. clean cloth , spray penetrant oil , on each section, rub down till dry , let sit couple days , do it again , paint will start to wake up , you will enjoy working on it more . think the way you are getting after it , you will decide how its working for you , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too much is missing here. The one switch that the previous owner disconnected is the clutch switch and that is no longer available. I am going top repaint the hood and fenders this winter though. 11 hours ago, peter lena said: @Dennis C. glad you are making gains on it , always concentrated on the basics / baseline issues just to get it going , then go after the detailing . those safety switches can be an issue , probably best to replace them , would just verify the operation and replace as you can . glad you did the trans , replace the shift boot ? that slight carb adjustment was lucky . i worked getting it all working then finished as needed . none of mine are show horses , but are paint clean ,and bulletproof solid . now that your wheels are good , how about a simple penetrant oil rub down ? found that a clean paint horse inspires you to go on. clean cloth , spray penetrant oil , on each section, rub down till dry , let sit couple days , do it again , paint will start to wake up , you will enjoy working on it more . think the way you are getting after it , you will decide how its working for you , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
