A hearty thanks to everyone who has responded,
Herb, I agree with you about the shop. I did drive up and meet him last weekend
and the shop is as clean and well kept as the photos on the Website show --
tools and everything else. He really takes pride in his space. And he seems
like a really nice guy. Probably spent close to two hours talking with me,
showing me samples of work he's done.
His first suggestion was to have the entire wiring harness replaced -- and then
to progress from there. If I'm lucky, maybe by next summer all the work (making
sure it is road safe) will be done. Of course, I want the paint & body done
first... but I do know better.
Thanks again and I'm still taking any suggestions...

I know nothing of Steve Barlow and his company, but I would find it hard to
believe that he/they would do anything other than excellent work.
In viewing the photos of British bikes he's restored, pay close attention to
the shop area. It's spotless! You may not always be able to judge by this,
but it's generally a good rule of thumb.
Just my two cents worth.

Keep the sticky side down!
