Purple people eater resto

Yea, im not in any hurry, ive still got plenty of time :D My goal right now is to get it running, because for me having a running, moving, driving project really helps motivate me to work my butt off to get it done.

Also some good news. When we pulled the tank, we pressure washed it and what we found was a surprise. Not only was their very little rust, but what rust was there was just on the surface and came off with a quick bath of brake cleaner.

Another little bit is while we were preparing to pull the motor, we found out that its in way better shape then we originally assumed. My uncle was trying to convince me to put new bearing in it, but after he saw some of the evidence he is pretty confident all we need to do is put some new gaskets in it and rebuild the carb so im going to save myself a little bit off money :cheers:
