Are there any good and reliable resources for Super Rat restoration?

There are no books on just how to restore a Rat, there are shop manuals on how to work on the bike. How about a photo of your project? Is it complete? What part of the country are you in, good chance another Hodaka member is near by. Do a search here. I hope to start a new restoration soon and will record what I do. So whats your question and we can get you started, first again lets see a photo.

I was looking for what plating was used on nuts/bolts, what color the brackets, hand-grips, cables be? Should the gas cap have 20:1 or 16:1 on it. Should all the aluminum be polished, satin, clear coated? Where all the 93's a reed valve motors? Should the foot rests be rubber? How long should the rear fender be? I figure if I'm going to the trouble of restoring it I want it right.I live in eastern Idaho.
