Thanks, ray ! I performed a full resto. Last things to do are to restore the Showa gaz shocks specific to this model (i finally got correct infos about oil amount and nitrogen pressure and found two rust free not bent rods from 75 shocks) and the original side panels which need a repaint; When I started the resto, I made a big mistake when i throwed away the bridgestone original rear tire...I did'nt know at this time that it was particular and specificaly designed for this model year.... |

the side panels on the pics are not original but repro items from DC Plastics. they don't fit as well as original do... My original panels are waiting for a new paint... but my Elsie restoration program is a bit slowed as I got a new "Christmas" toy wich needs care : a willys MB jeep issued on may 25, 1944 ! |
