No way would I restore that one.
Just give it a bath and get it running properly and safely and drive it.
You'll be considerably richer also.


Opps, I guess I should have waited until you finished.
To late now.
It does look good though.

Nice redo but I would have cleaned it up, got the mechanicals right and started driving it. But it does look nice. Two points of view of what to do to a T when they are found in nice shape. Clean it up or restore and there will always those points of view. As long long as you can find a nice original it will be that way but they are getting scarcer. 👍
