Well, it didn't happen quite as quickly as I was hoping. It was quite a chore finding someone to haul Betty for me, but that void has been filled finally. It should be picked up from my late grandparents' place tomorrow & headed a little north of Knoxville, TN.

So, my main goal is to get her running again & all mechanical things in order. Hopefully I can afford to do a few cosmetic fixes afterward. It's been a long time since I updated with any progress pics, but I had a chance to paint/primer a few things in anticipation for installation a bit later.
