Engine started over-heating. Took radiator out and flushed...found  deposits from sitting so long. Combined with new water pump she runs about 160 now. Replaced broken needle on speedo. Took for a second test drive. Looking good! Prepping for move to a 24/7 heated garage to install glass. Former parking lights are now repainted and to be used as turn signals. All sheet metal re-bolted on. Re-built and installed interior light, which just about completes wiring.
