Well, I've had a long night. The 1980 185 is moving along. I finally got all the siezed nuts and bolts that were giving my problems off and out of the way. A lot of carquest penetrating oil and leverage. The rear bearings were a pain too. I've got to spend some money on new top end seals and some rear bearings and things like that. No way I'll have her ready for T6, but hopefully if I can get the carb rebuilt on the Big Red I'll roll into Haspin. So, I'm planning on trying to keep her original, or as close to it, considering she is as old as me, I'm digging my first total teardown so far. So, besides the 50+ hour work week and paying/working on my $ pit of a house, I'd say my progress isn't too bad. Anyways, let me know what you folks think, thanks for reading my tuesday rant.
