I fail to see a problem - or even a question. Do the roadster black/black as well, and enjoy both!

Got a chance to look things over and Don Hooper aka 65hihp gave it the once over! California black plate car , sold and lived in cali most of life. NO rust just the regular things changed. Belts, clamps, hoses, shocks. Got 3 gallons of stale gas out, no rust. New gas and fluids, starts right up idles, clock and radio work. Just needs calipers and bleeding. Saturday project. Ah the roadster. Will keep plugging away. Hope to have it together less paint by Spring Carlisle. Off to DMV for historic tags!
