The last bits of wood on the list are these little rectangular blocks that support the back of the bottom rumbleseat frame.
The wood is dried out, split, and barely holding the screws, which are screwed in from underneath.
So I figured these would be the easiest pieces to reproduce. But, the only issue is those are partially obscured by the gas tank. I could probably finagle them out, but trying to drive slotted wood screws into new wood where could can drive them straight is a no-go.
So...out comes the tank. I was planning on pulling the tank anyway as I knew it was leaking from somewhere near the sender when the tank is full.
So...yeah... it's for sure leaking, enough to bubble the paint in sheets. Its either leaking from around gasket or where the pickup tube was epoxied in the past and is not cracked.
