Got to do the safety wire on the carb today. I just drove it around the block but it shifts nicely. I did the shift bushing replacement and that was not fun but worth while as now I can find the gears!
Today I'll go fill up with gas and drive it around the city as a shakedown.

No, I took it to AAtransaxle as I knew Darryl and his son took over after he died. Lots of parts for the rebuild as it was fubared inside and lots of stuff needed replacement.(i.e. bent shift forks etc) I did all the engine work.
