Well, not a whole lot of progress on the bike, but I have ridden it about 140 miles in the last two weeks with no new issues, so that's good!
The '79 tank did come in last night, so I tossed it on there real quick to see how it looked. I love it. Still have to figure out mounting, but once I do that I can start on the seat. FINALLY. People seem to like my dumb plaid seat though, caught at least three people taking pictures of it in the parking lot of the Norton show I was at this morning. ;D
Dent in the front, going to try to pull that as much as I can, then hit it with some filler.
Someone started sanding on the top, and there are a few small dents there too.
Overall, the tank is in great shape, the inside is almost immaculate. The plan is to figure out how to mount it, make the seat, strip the tank, do all the body work, and paint it. I'll be making some sort of new side covers as well, since I'm trying to keep the stock tins as they are.
Now I just have to find the time...
