Making progress!!!
Finally got a break! Spring arrived this week and I was able to get some work done on Fred (51 F3).
Pulled the gas tank and sent it out for cleaning. New battery, plugs, wires, coil, cap etc...and it's turning over!
Rebuilt the carb. Installed new fuel lines, new headlight switch, choke & throttle cables. Rebuilding the fuel pump today. Awaiting the rest of the new harness...I'm starting to get excited! I can almost smell the exhaust now
That reminds me. Gonna need a new exhaust and muffler.
Thanks to all the members here for the GREAT advise and especially to Chuck4850 (Chucks Trucks) for the guidance and easy access to parts!

You progress guys are making me look bad! But I also dropped off a gas tank for cleaning yesterday so that's something, right? Waiting on final reassembly of my 9" rear until I hit the swap meet next week. I think I finally decided to pick up a set of 3.50:1 gears. Keep up the good work!
