body mounts are out, windshield is out, birdcage has some small holes but looks repairable (whew)and now we are ready for liftoff.  Only used a couple dozen bandaids so far.

(Adam Wartell added the pic below. I think this is the one you were trying to add:)

thanks Adam,  I even resized picture before I uploaded to see if it would work but for some reason I just can't get them to load always get an error saying can't load

On the up side I've been working away and am now ready to lift out transmission as soon as I can find a spot to put it, my shop is pretty tiny have to sweet talk Dwight into corner of his

thanks Johnu

now have transmission out and bell housing off.  Had good look at clutch and yes it needs work but I expected that so far everything is matching numbers and it has been 40 years after all.

ok so I am going to give this picture thing another whirl so you can see where I am at.
