The hardtail was finally delivered on Thursday. 

I spent most of the day off clearing out the garage getting ready for this project to go full steam. After it was ready I put on the new ignition points and the engine fired right up. I let the engine get hot, adjusted the idle screws and shut it down. I spent the rest of the night stripping down most of the bike starting with the birds nest of wiring inside the headlight bucket.

Then moved down to the chain guard and pulling out the old chain that was bound inside the side cover. Really needs to be cleaned in there. Battery box also came out.

Here's how the bike looked at the end of the night.
