I now have the body tub bolted down and about 50% of the wiring hooked up.

I took the carb apart cleaned all the crap and buildup out of it, and replaced most of the components with a kit. My kit was missing a few parts, so I need to order a few more kits and rebuild it again (hopefully not until winter though).
A bit more progress on the front end tonight. Hanno; Thanks for increasing the allowable file size for photos! It makes things much easier.

Looks like you have one extraction and one heli-coil to install on that carb. The two screws that hold the throttle cable bracket down are chronics for stripping the carb. Helicoiling the pair of them is the best thing you can do.
I'll throw a plug in for the Kleen-flo carburator and metal parts cleaner (part nos 651,652 and 653). It is the old school stuff where you strip the carb, and put all the parts into the basket and submerge it. It has been a godsend other than the fact that it dissolves it's own container in about 2-3 years. It also works great on paint gun parts, stripping them to look brand new. It might be a little expensive for a one off project, but for repeated use it is the best. The spray cans of carb cleaner you buy at Cdn tire etc don't even compare.

Rob: I was thinking about how nice it would be to dunk the carb in a bucket of cleaner. You are right, it does a perfect job and leaves nothing behind.
It must be just the way things look in the photo, but fortunately no extraction or stripped holes in the body. Although having heli-coils in the two holes you mention would be a good feature (maybe in the future). As things would have it, today I found the complete "unopened" carb kit that I was looking for last night.
