Wow - I really appreciate for the positive comments! It cost me a lot of money, sweat and the tip of a finger (angle grinder...) but I managed to do everything myself except the windshield (cracked the first one so I had the pro's do the next), charge the A/C, and mount the tires. I took it down to the frame and replaced nearly every nut and bolt. Lots of wire-wheel, solvent and POR-15 got all of the rust, too. First time I painted anything, but it looks good from 10 feet or so. Now my garage is blue, too. I have learned so much from reading (lurking, I suppose...) the posts here on this site - I could not have done ANY of it without the information that I learned from this board. Thanks.
