Hi Joel
Yes those were a very nice touch, Thanks for the help with those.

WOW Scott what could I say. I'm new to the forum and absolutely enjoyed following your post start to finish. Great job!! I recently purchased one here on Long Island and for the most part it's complete except for the conventional ignition (not the waterproof type) and all #'s are what they should be. The body is straight with some front floor board rust throughs. I don't have any immediate plans for a complete restoration but i would like to get it road worthy. It has an old but rugged look that it just came out of the battle field and was found. If possible maybe we could share some info and contacts privately. I could use some spare parts not easily found here. Rode Island is not far from Long Island.

Best regards,

Paul
