Here are some pics after I got it home and cleaned it up. I fired it up tonight after squirting the cylinders with oil, changing oil, disconnecting the tank of bad gas, etc. Compression was 130 in 4 of the cylinders. 120 and 110 in the other 2. Ran pretty bad. Carb must be gunked up. Most of the exhaust came out of the head pipe flange. The seat bottoms were a bit of a disappointment. I have another set out of a 69 that I will try to fit. Apparently, mouse piss and 5 years in the weather will do that. Also found that the brake master reservoir cup (metal), had a big rip in the bottom. Noticed new brake lines and the wheel cylinders on the one corner that I took off look newer.

Nope .....

If you don't wanna tell then we understand, you paid too much ....

Yeah, my response was pretty weak. I don't like to say how much I paid for something.
