I just sent back through this thread and re-visited the photos. It reminds me SO much of all the things I did to my '55 when I first got it in 2011. In hindsight I leaden a lot but also wasted all the money I spent on it doing everything you've done - fluids filter, belts hoses, tires, rattle can painting, all of it. I did it all only to blow it all apart and redo it from the frame up in 2015.

I'd have no problem at all starting over if I could find one as solid as this one was when you found it. Not too many of them left out there in the condition this one was.
