The 100 build begins

[cooperino]

Figured I would start a new thread for this. My other post tells the tale of how I ended up with the 100. My son and I decided even though its not the O that we wanted, it's worth refurbishing anyway. So we started on it tonight. Worked for an hour before dinner then another hour after his homework was finished. Found an old battery eye down below the steering while we were in there. Here's our progress so far.

Looks good so far, now, for our necks and eyeballs, you have to get the pictures oriented correctly, I am not sure oriented is the proper politically correct word though...
BTW your are just a boy, or is that a stand in?

Nice to see you involve your son. Just remember, he might get his hands dirty!

I like those diamond tread turfs!
In the other pics I see the valve stem on the outside.
Are they CC or JD rims?

I see Miller Tire sells a 6-12 Bridgestones 4-ply like those for $144 each.

Good start Coop.
Good thing your boy is there to supervise, and to make sure the task at hand is done correctly. Does he have a name, or is it Boy?
Nice seeing the young, take interest.
