Just bought this unit yesterday! So stocked to get my hands on this jewel and get going on it. It is complete for the most part with some mild rust which I plan to replace some sheet metal etc. All gauges work and lights and it has been converted to 12volt.... I plan to do a frame off on this bad boy. I'm excited about this forum as it seems there is a lot of activity and knowledge her to help all of us on our projects. Here's a couple of pictures:

Welcome aboard and enjoy the site. Get us some closeups of what has been done with the small space between the front seats. Looks like some kind of modified hand brake and an overdrive. If handbrake is converted to a direct pull then I would also guess you have 10" or 11" brakes added with the parking brakes on the rear wheel back plates. Wheels look like later civvy wheels set up for the baldie hub caps.
