It is not somethimg I wanted to do, but it is what it is. Lack of help, doomed this project. I only have so much time, and I don't have all of the needed skills and tools to finish restoring it. If I can sell it, I will buy one that has already been restored. I don't want to be one of those...

I have decided to sell it. I am now devoting my energy to getting it ready to sell. Not my first choice, but it is what it is. I know I will take a loss, but at least this way, someone else will be able to finish restoring it. I don't want to be one of those people who will restore it someday...

But I would have to pay to do that.

Unfortunately, due to Covid, the college and prison are a no go.

If wishes were fishes, we would all be fishermen.

That is true, but only during good weather since I can't get help to install the canvas.

I understand Ahab. I will never judge people who can not contribute. If things don't change, I will have to consider putting it up for sale next year. My pockets, are not that deep. *I can not afford to send it off to a shop to complete the restoration.

I am only one man. Finding help. is a big problem. If I can't find help. I will have to sell it. I just spent over $300.00 getting the fluids changed and the brakes adjusted. It would be in thousands to get the canvas installed, plus the minor body work and the paint. My pockets are not deep. If...

Took my WC63 to a Automotive Shop. Had the brakes adjusted. Now they work great. Took it out for a drive today. Ran great. Unfortunateltly. the fuel gauge is a problem. It keeps reading full. So I will have to investigate this. I still need to put the canvas on it.. I will probaly have to pay to...

Well the community college plan and the inmate plan went down the drain thanks to corona. On the bright side, I was able to take it out for a drive today. It ran great! Engine did not lose power and die. Apparentlly crud in the gas tank was the culprit. I will try and take it out for a longer...

Thank you. I will supply the parts of course. That's only fair.

After I get the tank back in and the truck running, I will call a couple of community colleges and see if they are interested. I have also heard, that a state prison about 30 miles from here does mechanical work. Trying to teach the inmates a trade.

Managed to get the gas tank lined. Now I have to get the tank installed. Was Planning on doing that today, but the electricity was off most of the day. Couldn't run the lights in the shop. Thinking about giving up and selling it. Hard enough to find the time to work on it without the power...

I got it at NAPA. They ordered it from a place in Portland.

Got the fuel tank removed. I am working on it today with a fuel tank kit to get it cleaned out and coated.

I dropped the fuel tank yesterday. I will clean it out and scrape off the loose paint on the exterior and then spray paint the bare spots. I have heard of a coating that you can apply to the interior of the fuel tank to keep it from rusting. But I searched NAPA's website, and couldn't find any...

Good advice.

Indeed I do.

Things are at a standstill right now as I have pretty much reached the end of my skills and/or tools. I think I have identified the cause of the stalling when warm. The fuel filter was plugged with crud from the gas tank. I replaced the in line filter and cleaned out the sediment bowl. Seems to...
