I thought you folks would like this project.
I snagged this Engine on ebay for $25.00. Barely running. Still working on the e-unit, but it runs fine if I bypass the e-unit.
Just about done with the repaint.
Here is where we started:

And here is where I'm at now:
1684 prewar refurb by Christopher Purdy, on Flickr

Next step is a bit more cleanup of the bleeding between colors and then a matte clear coat.
Now If I could just find a cheap working e-unit!
