I enjoyed the video, but feel it lacked a real disassembly/reassembly descri=

.  I took it completely apart with the intention of a complete restoration (=
not to the level of competing at shows - want to drive it again, like I did w=
hen I was 26 [am 76 now].  The reassembly task is very intimidating for fear=
 I=E2=80=99ll screw it up.  Are there other videos out there that that show a=
 complete reassembly?  Also, for you folks that have the valve cover vent to=
 carb filters:  there are no filters to accommodate that.  How have others h=
