Enjoyable read, glad the 50 did good on both trips. A testimate to the original builders as well as the recent rebuilder
Your Dad would no doubt be very proud.
Thats real good mpg. I've got perhaps 4k miles on my 49 216 since I got it running and it hit the 11 mpg mark on this last fillup. It gets better with use and perhaps it'll eek alittle more out.
Good thread, keep it updated
