It was great meeting you and I'm glad you decided to restore rather than part out.  Hoping someone has a handle.....

@Vwbuggin64, I call dibs on those original vintage steel wheels, if you ever decide to part ways with them, now that @GrillGiant offers replacement rubber treads.

That is an amazing restore transformation!

Sidney...why not just skip adding the handle and use the slide aside like a lid bale  for it?

Mike. that's a good idea, but it's as old as I am, maybe a little older.  I'd like to see it whole again.
