Good luck with your restoration!
I absolutely hear you. I'm all in when it comes to the full restoration. In fact there's a fellow in town that I ride with who owns an auto shop and has done a number of absolutely perfect restorations on his own Motorolla Eddie Merck's, and quite a few others. He does an unbelievable job with them and I'm hoping that he will help me with mine albeit I'm not planning a team paint scheme, but more sticking with the paint job that made this bike so attractive to me at the beginning.
