Some progress, I have the bike back together and on it's wheels and while I had the back tire off I rebuilt the rear caliper and MC. Handlebar controls are in and I have been repairing some prior wiring repairs on the bike. I will probably do the front brakes next and then pull the carbs and heads later in the summer when I have a little more time. Starting to look like something and definitely a project bike now!
