thank you all for the encouragement. no real tales to tell. stripped paint and rolled on new valspar "tractor yellow". next comes shifter bushings and clutch cable.

finally got my first drive in last night. car drives extremely well, engine is very strong. shifting is lousy and so is the throttle action. all in all i am very pleased. i guess yellow cars are faster because this one runs real strong. new shifter bushings and clutch cable this weekend along with some bulb replacement and i am ready for the season. i dont know why i bothered to put a radio in, it can only be heard at stop signs and traffic lights.
