Well, between rain, wind, and more snow...not necessarily in that order, we are back into some decent weather to get things done.
Rolled on rustoleum black on the floor for a final coat. Blasted and paint all the dash trim, window trim, etc, with Rustoleum Dark Bronze. Not a perfect match, but after covering with semi-gloss clear, I was happy with the results.
Restored the seat frame and lower spring assy, (not pictured).
Refired the motor with a quick fix of some chewing gum over the holes in the freeze plugs to see if it would run longer than 2 minutes. It worked..sort of, till it warmed up. Ran for 15 minutes and really smoothed out without a misfire or hiccup. Very happy about that. Now...about those freeze plugs & lack of oil to the rockers. Partial tear down of motor needed to happen. Rocker arms were completely plugged with muck. Oiling holes and insides of shafts were a mess. After removal, found galling on the shafts and chucked them up in my buddies lathe for some smoothing over with emery cloth.
