Nice one to start with!

The interior is exactly the same color and material as my 55 Pat. That always gets lots of wows from on lookers, especially the ladies who love the mohair and silver-threaded fabric.

Good luck on getting it started without problems. Based on my experience, watch out for the oil pump (low pressure) and BTV (various failure modes). There are fixes for both that have been discussed many times on this board. But, you probably know this already, having OCPD.

On edit: I just noticed the chrome air cleaner and valve covers (like mine). Those should clean and polish nicely and will also wow the guys when you open the hood.
