Figured out why she left me stranded twice ... don't add lead additive and marvel to a half empty tank. I figured it'd be ok if I added it and drove to the gas station. Both times I only made it around a mile. She ran fine around town till it all mixed. Got a 5gal can, filled her up and she ran fine.
Also took the opportunity to replace a hacked off carb stud so I could get the proper spacer under the carburetor.

On Saturday I finally got the exterior visor painted and installed.
