Freds 73 Scamp restore on a budget

Haven't been able to do anything on mine, too much life stuff getting in the way. The wifey let me apply for a tractor supply card though, as I can spend $300 and if we pay it off in 6 months there's no interest. The card should be here early next week, so I can run to the next town over, get a gas bottle for my welder and some square tubing to brace it with, and get the front clip off next weekend. Hoping, anyway, lol. Seems lately every time I try to earmark time for it something else gets in the way.Messing around tonight to get the center stall of the garage cleaned out enough to get a car into if I need to work on something this winter.
I here you buddy been there most of my life. 8 kids all by myself and now retired and hope I live long enough to enjoy my ride.
But you heard that before just a reminder to hang in there.
