I just took a look at how many pictures I have taken. So far I have 181
pictures, totaling over 63Mb, most in jpeg form. Before taking the top off
I took pictures of the bow. If in doubt about what something was going to
look like I took pictures of it. I took pictures of Mike Goodman putting
the engine back together (it looks great on that engine stand), close ups
of the serial number plates, and instruments (I would never be able to
remember the original odometer reading without a picture). If you want
them, I can break it down into four or five large ZIP files, and email them
out. There will be quite a few more, as this past weekend I took of the
fenders, preparing for the paint job. I plan to prime and paint the inside
of the fenders and wheel wheels, inside of the doors, and other area of the
tub, inside of the bonnet and engine compartment before taking it to the
paint shop. Then put the fenders back on with 1/4" spacers between them
and the body, thenn after a week or two, take them off and put the piping
on. All in all, a lot of work to do before the paint shop gets it.
