I finally got my hands on the original front belt guard, so after some sanding and paint I can install it. I believe this to be the last part I need to complete the restoration, unless I am lucky enough to come across a starter kit.

Yup, that's the piece. I've painted mine three times so far, and I still don't like how it looks.
Interestingly, they used this same part again in '75, perhaps the increased HP was judged too much for the plastic belt guard.
