Cool... looks nice!

As for the valve clatter.. might I suggest a valve adjustment as first approach... additives might help.. might not. The engine was not designed to need additives. It *was* designed to have the valves in proper adjustment.

As for the windshield rust... personally, I wouldn't do anything with it until you are ready to replace the windshield. The rust that you really need to address is under the seal, so anything you do with silicone or whatever will be superficial, and possibly do more harm than good.

Enjoy the ride, and welcome to the Brickboard!
