Found a shop near by home, recommended by a close friend, that let me do a lot of the work myself, and is also teaching me. I have not had this much fun in quite a while..taking it apart, engine out, etc, anticipating it getting dipped, and then I will paint it..or they will.
It's here, I think this shop is not too far from Ken Barnhart's (ZL1) Amoco station.

Nice floor above the tank!
