Pics or it never happened........ LOL
Just poking fun. Congrats on your purchase - the most enjoyable way to go broke I can think of.
Rust will show up first along the edge of the floor pan, under the roll bar mounting plates, and under the doubles part of the front fenders....... and the rear part of the frame between the rear axle and rear crossmember. Good luck and keep us posted

Today (after work) was more electrical wiring. Finished wiring the Derale electric fan and the controller. I was going to take pics, but it's just some wires along the fender well...
Next will be correcting the timing and adjusting the carb. Fun fun.

I added a hood tie down strap to the 3a. Not sure if I have it tied right. But I will work on it.

I loosened the big screws that hold the windshield up and tried to fold it down on the hood. It didn't want to go. It looked like the more I tried to fold it down the more it wanted to just break in half, so I just left it up. Too much rust holding it to the body.

Try some oil on the hinges. I know the hinge from the 80s have a whole in the middle for oil. Leave a drop or 2 soak in every day for several days.
