Just bought my first 40 and looking for ideas on where to start...

You can purchase the cross braces new here. I have purchased them and they are top notch.

Good luck.

New battery, belts, hoses, cleaned points, fresh gas, and he cranked right up. Working on new front calipers now. Definitely need some insight on adjusting carb. Been cleaning up the inside as well. Surprisingly in really nice shape... Don't think Mr. King ever cleaned the inside. Found my old Legos, a pack of cigarettes and some loose change. Love it.

Welcome to the addiction. She's got you now my friend!

Been too long, but nonetheless, thought I would post an update. Brakes got put on, replaced a leaky gas tank and have been driving Eugene around all over the mountains in NC....

Running pretty well, but I need to still get the carb rebuilt and windshield wipers working.

Moved to Detroit in the summer for my wife's job and hoping to bring him up spring 2014. Here are some shots from driving this past summer....

Glad to see you diving it ! pick up a can of anti-seize for any bolts you remove and put back, you will thank your self in the years ahead. Keep a log book of any issues to address or remind your self when you decide to do a rebuild.
Cheers and enjoy !
