It's been another long dry spell between updates, but I've been doing quite a bit of work lately.  I've cleaned up a whole bunch of small parts, mostly from the interior.  I'm down to a fairly small box of parts that need to be restored.  I still have to buy some stuff, but I'm almost done with the stuff that needs to be restored.  I got the sandblaster from Randy last weekend, and sandblasted a bunch of spring parts, then last night I got to thinking that I'm starting to run short on time to get the bodywork done before the cold weather hits.  So I spent all night tonight getting the body shell put on the rotisserie, and got it done.  I have to do re-do it so I can re-position a couple of brackets, but that won't take long.  Then I can roll it into the driveway and take the power washer to it.  I need to decide if I'm going to weld up new battery boxes, or cut them out and replace them with plastic ones that Moss sells.  Plus, I need to fix up a couple of areas in the interior that are rusted quite badly (under the heater box, and under the the master cylinders).  Then, it's off to the sandblaster, then the bodywork!

Here's one of the "quarter lights", showing how the bottom bracket is attached.

Another view.

And a close-up view.

Boy, I guess I really liked this thing!

Here it is...the bodyshell on the rotisserie!

And a rear view of he bodyshell on the rotisserie.
