Air Cleaner: After soaking in gasoline for a month, John was able to free the filter from the pan of the 1940 air cleaner that had been sitting for umpteen years.
Manifold: The manifold gaskets that came with the gasket set purchased at the swap meet were made of regular gasket material. On advice from Bob E., Olson Gasket exchanged them for a small upcharge to the original metal type with a sealing lip.
Front and Rear fender: They had been repaired and painted but now the inside has Evercoat rubberized undercoating over the epoxy primer.
Sway Bar: I thought I posted this previously, but at long last, the sway bar that was lost during the last restoration was replaced. Now when Sammy Kaye comes on the tube radio, I only swing.
