5 and 6. Don't touch the paint. Clean/protect the finish with Mother's products. That sun in Texas is tough business.
Overall, a fun bicycle. How do you know it is a 1979? Just wondering on your dating method.
...and don't forget to ask for help.
Yes 62 according to the stamp on the BB and consistent with what I have read on other sites. Also there is a 795 stamped in smaller font under the size stamp, and again according to the other sites, this frame was built in May of 1979.
Thanks for the feed back, I agree I blew it on the bar wrap, but I will fix that.
