Good Luck Mr. Hitchhiker. I am in western wawa and am currently rerestoring a 31 rstr. Meaning: Someone said they restored it and then I bought it sight unseen(the only time in my life, A MISTAKE) and now I am undoing there version of restoration and proceeding with my version. I'm being kind.
I've mostly been a lurker and my intention is to start posting the saga so that folks like you can benefit. Stay tuned it will be riveting HA!
My unsolicited advice would be...HAVE FUN! Enjoy yourself, however you define that.
