Yes, lots of work, but it's fun work (mostly) and will certainly be rewarding to finally drive it again. We got it into the shop today, after a downpour and hailstorm, of course, just before we move it. Pulled the hood off and got most of the leaves and debris out of it. It's going to take a while to dry out so may be firing the wood stove tonight to speed it along. I want to start it tomorrow so we can move it around and in and out of the shop, so when it's sunny it can be outside drying. I turned it over by hand and everything feels good, I may pull the distributor and rig up a rod for the oil pump and at least pressurize the oil system.
That blue color had been on 4 of my cars over the years...it's a '74 Cadillac color "Royal Mist Metallic" Centari # 42821A2, but ya can't buy Centari anymore. The interior is black. I'm probably going to paint it blue again, something similar.
