Harvested the rear sway bar off of my 73 but now I need to track down the bolt for the suspension on the trailing arm that has the cup for the drop link before I can add the sway bar

Need to get the gas tank cleaned up next. The outside was painted and I thought it was treated. Looking inside, I think it needs a little more love.

Put some apple cider vinegar and ball bearings in the tank for the night. Worked it around inside pretty good to get every angle.

Got the new pedal cluster in that Bruce Stone restored for me and added a plate for hand throttle since I'll be using carbs.

Got the headlight surrounds all cleaned up. Love the look of the white on there with the red. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
