BTW, the radio works.  The far right button is ON, the middle button is 
OFF, and the left button is a LOUD switch.  Left dial is volume and 
right dial is frequency selection.  Interesting that I is ON and O is 
OFF just like what's used on many appliances and computers today.

The front right fender needs replacing, noooooo doubt about it, it's 
rusty!  There are also quite a number of locations with bubbled up 
paint.  It looks like someone welded a large practice bead and then 
painted over it.  There's also some front air plenum rust but not as 
severe as mine.  But the pan is in good condition with the smallest of 
holes under the battery.  It's not pristine but it's can -- and will -- 
be used for daily driving while I make mostly minor repairs to the 
body.  That pretty yellow glow is gonna get mottled with primer spots :-(
