I stripped the grey paint & put new wheels on. Now i need to drill the bolts out for the rear bumper. It's too bad someone sanded the hell out of the OG paint Mad

Its amazing what a set of fresh rims/tires can do to a car. Looks road worthy now. Wink

Check endplay on that flywheel before rebuilding - it might be out of spec.

yeah, anytime Patrick. The carbs seem pretty cheaply made, but it sounds great, and seems pretty peppy for a 36er. I'm liking it so far

Not too different from this original paint December 1955 that has been "sanded" by sixty two years of natural weathering. The climate isn't too different from Roseburg:

The above pics are ten years old so she's even more weathered now.

Nice, I really like that green. Yours has a lot more paint left on it than mine. Someone actually sanded mine down pretty good in spots. Looks likes some rough grit they were using too.

Great that you got the oval driving again, even with a different engine. Did you ever clean out the original decomposing 36hp engine?
