Ok, here you go. Got this the other day, not cleaned up yet, got more important projects from last year in the queue to finish, a couple of BF'ers helped with parts and facilitation and I promised to get those done sooner than later.

This is technically my size, I was expecting a tank, noticed how light it was, noticed it was Tenax, thought, "Damn, this is a sleeper. I think I'll clean it up and give it a spin!"

Looks good from a distance (first pic), but when you get up close (second pic), you see what moist basement time can do. Those may be rust stains in the paint, but seems superficial, little spot rubbed out with some patience and PB blaster on the tip of a rag. Hope it comes close to your results!

Rubbing compound brought it back to life.
