Powder looks great! Bet you're itching to get the tins on.

Just wanted to try and document some of my first build. Been browsing the forum for about two months now and have learned a ton. Picked up this beauty in February. Non running for 100 bucks. The first project is the motor. Just finished up the paint, powdercoat, and polishing. All the work other than the carbs were done by myself and a buddy. Carburetors we rebuilt by Rick at OLDSKOOLCARBS, who did a awesome job. Waiting on a few more parts and it'll be ready to completely go back together. Then on to the frame........
