After about 1-1/2 years of work, my project is done!
I rebuilt the engine, tranny, top cover, hydraulic pump, carb, rear axles, brakes, steering box, and probably a few other things that I don't remember.
Sheet metal was probably the most challenging part.
I realize it is not a perfect restoration. Most of the nuts and bolts are stainless to make future maintenance easier. But I did try to keep it as original as possible. Any parts too bad to fix were usually replaced with old original parts tracked down on eBay, etc.
I don't have any great pictures handy of BEFORE, but this dash picture gives an idea of the sheet metal condition when I got it:
