>  Do you plan on doing a full restoration or just doing the engine?
I've done a lot of the little stuff on it but that was twenty years or so ago. Probably time to do some of it over again. At some point the engine swap would be high on the priority list to make it more roadworthy. Like radios it's more labor of love than a profitable venture.

No wife any more.
> are you an engineer or technician?
No just a hacker I mean hobbyist. Been my hobby since the mid '60s when I was a kid. No formal training just a lot of practical experience.

Glad to hear you got the AK going and tnx for the offer I'll keep you in mind.
