wasat, thanks, what works for me is try to do something every day, no matter how minor. Even if its thinking something out it keeps you tuned in. And, never set a completion date. Then its just another job.
erik, yeah the metal on the 65 is more, shall we say, flimsey than the 53. Lots of extra plates and do-dads to deal with. Looks very similar to yours as far as what needs attention but don't see any show stoppers....just a little extra to deal with.
Trying to get it thru sandblasting so I know what to pick up at Spring Carlisle. Hate to pay shipping if i don't have to.
