Jeff;
I have restored an 1961 Dexta recently - mechanically was fine, but needed some sheetmetal repair, guages replace & other misc., and a complete repaint. Biggest diffuculty I had was in determining the the correct paint scheme and the color of the orange/red wheels. A good source of info has been Forrester's in Pa. 717-263-0705. I hope you are getting along well with your project. It's nice to find someone else with the same piece of iron. Chris - Eessigns@aol.com
