Looks great! Nice job cleaning 'er up. How's it running?

It runs great. The carbs were frozen solid and would not even turn so I soaked them and installed complete rebuild kits. The fuel tanks were full of rust so I purchased two gallons of a product called Metal Rescue. I left the tanks and carbs soaking in this for around a week and they look brand new. The stuff only eats rust and leaves all other materials including paint untouched. The bike was covered in calcium deposits from his sprinkler and the weather which took the most time. I have around 40-50 hours of cleaning alone in it. By the way to remove calcium and light rust from chrome try a product called Bar Keeper Friend. It is amazing and saved a lot of time once I found it on youtube.
