Have just a few specs of dirt, but can buff out.
The pics make it look a lot lighter. Couple small parts.

Little better pic. Plan on putting it on the frame Sunday.

Does this mean you rename the thread to 1975 Green Money Pit?

Jokes aside the new paint looks great!

 

[Tommy Shumpert]

Few more bits done.

I got a few more parts together this weekend. One bummer is the new rear panel behind the gas tank did not have to bolt holes for the gas tank. I will probably put in a few insert nuts.
Found some thin neoprene pads to go under tank, it worked great.

Started on the wiring harness. ugh......I ended up rehabbing a 77 harness I purchased a while back so a few plugs are not correct. dang it.

Thanks. Slowly but Shurley

Anyone know where I can get the round cover over the gas sending unit?

Hazard switch connection on my "new" harness(77) is a lot smaller than the one on the switch. Anyone know the conversion?

Received my Sniper kit this weekend from @FJ60Cam. Waiting on the Carb from Holley. I went with the in-tank fuel pump, more work but I hear it's worth it.

How the heck do you remove the connector on this plug? It is the side marker light plug.
Thanks
