Project Quarantine

[Racer2172]

Getting things done a little bit at a time. Received missing seat parts so started putting the seat adjustment lever back together, got it pretty close just have some adjustment to get it to release both sides correctly. Also pulled the gas tank out last night, has some lovely old gas in it, so will get it drained tonight and work on getting it cleaned out as well as the lines will use for now have a rear mount tank that will go in at some point, but not ready to pull the bed yet. Want to keep this thing driveable or moveable for now.

This is advice that would save a ton of trucks... I bet thousands of classics have suffered the fate of the scrap yard or part outs because guys will take it all the way down with the intent of a full restoration or resto mod. Unless you've done it before one has very little comprehension of the hours and costs involved. Keeping it on the road and handeling individual projects one or two at a time is wise!

Definitely trying to stick to that theory had a few too many incomplete projects that never got finished and sold or scrapped. So trying to keep this one moving forward without going to deep is definitely a good motivator and the daughter helping is a plus.
