Of course I discovered several small things that could have been painted with them, but I can do that myself since it's mostly small stuff. The only large items are the two fiberglass chain covers. They are cracked and I'll patch them today or tomorrow and get them ready for paint. I've been putting them off since I'm not good (very slow) at "body work" but it shouldn't be too bad, especially since it's not a car and just a cover panel.I built a new pump cage bracket, but it shifted during welding and I just need to line up the opposite bores and mill the faces flat and square to each other. Light cuts. I still need to fabricate the alternator bracket, but that's a simple one and won't take but a couple hours.I'm only about a day or two away from starting to reassemble things. There will be several pauses along the way because some things need to be set in place so I can make sure my fat head and various assemblies will fit some yet-to-be-made parts. But beginning to put things back together will probably be such an energizing feeling I don't thing it will be so dreadful as it has been so far.I may get this thing back together after all !!</blockquote>
