This bike turns 44 years old this month. It's getting more fun and enjoyable to watch it come back to life again. I spent an entire afternoon sanding and polishing the front forks - from 320 to 600 to 1200 to 2000 grit sandpaper, then buff and polish to a nice shine. The new seals were somewhat challenging to get in, but they're now ready to go. The next big project is cleaning and polishing the wheel hubs, then lacing and truing them to the new spokes and rims.
