Re: 75 Rustoration underway
It looks like Shem was involved, not Ham Fist. Are you sure it's not Shemp, as in Moe, Larry & Shemp?
If there is one thing I have learned throughout this process it is this: Check your respirator for spiders before you put it on.

Re: 75 Rustoration underway
The wing got sidelined for a VW trike project and then a move to South Dakota before the move I got the brakes rebuilt in the past week I got the new shop set up and made good progress
the fuel tank had been reinstalled and rear bearings replaced and timing belts replaced with only a minor timing cover bolt breaking off during removal 
thank goodness for helicoils
