Wanted a place to post my progress. Tore down yesterday and starting to take down to metal today. Really the only thing besides decals and all will be to replace the bushings and axle covers. Wish me luck!!!

Can't wait to see the finished product. What are you doing to take it to the metal, just sanding?
Been using a wire wheel but it is very time consuming and can't get the hard to reach places. Harbor Freight has a inexpensive sandblaster and going to give it a shot because there are 3-4 on craigslist that I can snag for $100 and turn around for $450. Found a recycling center and going to check it out. They have a lot of snappers and if I can get a cpl of baggers for the hi vacs then that's an extra $100-$150 I can add to the price.
This one here that I am doing, I kinda want to keep it but will sell for the right price. I am going through everything so going to be like new. It would take $600-$700 for me to even consider selling. I am taking my time since its my first complete restore but I have replaced almost every part on one of these at one time or another. Will post a pic. this weekend. Have about halfway sanded and primer on that to prevent surface rust.
One question, I found out where to get the decals and all but does anyone know the color red that it is called when I get ready for paint?
can't wait to see what you do with this guy.
