Engine out - Restoration in

Engines out, covers taken off, to my eyes looks in decent shape but what do i know, but i'm taking the thing to a man who does, been rebuilding them for 20 years he says, sonds like he'll do a top job and totally strip it down and reassemble for $700 - seems a steal to me considering people in cali where estimating about $2400 inclding parts, and then i'd have shipping on top too. Cant wait! Worst case it'll be $1400 and the thing will be mint and the carb will be tuned. I'm hoping to get some snaps of the workshop this weekend too.

Also got some info on running small drum brakes off the internet, this way i can ditch the broken one i have and get something more reliable :)

going, going, soon to be gone

Barrels should come off tomorrow, just need to borrow some muscles to get the darn thing out, it weighs a flippin ton! Also ground off most of the offending bad welds and various bits of metal placed by the previous owner, once the engines out I can turn the frame upside down and work on it more easily.
