Wow, that will bring back some memories. Best of luck with the project.
I'm going to be looking through a large number of slides to see if there's
one of me with my first bicycle. It was a 1957 Huffy Convertible, and I last
rode it in 1973. Just yesterday I got most of the restoration work done on a
1984 Huffy Concours Professional.
