Thanks BH, Hank, Rusty, and Ross! Sorry for the late response.

Not much to report about the '52. Took her to a car show in early November, which happened to be the farthest I've traveled in her. It was probably a 30 mile round-trip. Other than that she has mostly sat in the driveway. One thing I noticed the other day when I started her up was a water leak coming from the block, above the distributor. I'm going to have to fix that soon, not sure why it started leaking in the first place. Oh, and I lost my passenger side spear tip on the way to that car show in November.

This year I plan on getting her title and registration done so I don't have to sweat taking her out on the streets. And, I also want to get a transmission that works well. It is extremely difficult driving without a 2nd gear, especially when down shifting is almost impossible. I'm just not sure where to get one? I don't need overdrive, just a transmission that will allow me to truly enjoy my car.

Here's a couple videos I took today, along with a photo from the car show I attended. Links: vid 1 vid2
