This should be a fun build! Why don't you have a board meet at your house? We could get a few people together and get a drivetrain in that beast.

The only reason I say this is because I have a brother-in-law who is the king of scrounge. Also, when I start adding up the prices of what I think it needs to make it driveable, it's more than I want it to be. My neighbor bought a complete running fairly nice K-5 for $800. His is a newer model, like mid 80's, but by the time I have $800 into this, it will still be a rusted, dented, maybe driveable beater.

Thank you again for the parts deal. I am trying to sell some of those items now to help fund the Junkyard Jimmy. If I do get a meet organized, it will likely be a while, but you will be one of the first invited. Bring the kids, my girls would love to babysit.
