Re: 1938 Super 8 1605 - adventures with a newbie

I'm still working on the ignition switch problem. I think I have a solution that will work, but we'll see.

I had some time yesterday with the car, though I was unable to get the things done that I wanted to. I ordered a fuel pump rebuild kit from Then and Now 2-3 weeks ago but it hasn't come yet. I was going to clean and mount the air cleaner, but realized I'm missing the bracket that holds it to the exhaust manifold. The car has been disassembled so many times that the bracket could be anywhere.

I also realized I am missing the adapter plate for the hard vacuum line on the intake manifold. I'm searching for both of these parts, so if you have them let me know.

I needed to clear some space where the body panels were being stored, so I put the hood back on the car. I also loaded up the fenders and drove them back to my house 2 hours away.

I'm looking for ways to get the car to my house so I can put it back together in my shop. I'm only at my parent's house once a month, and I'm spending most of my time there helping my mom with various projects since my dad has passed. If I can get the car to my place I can work on it in the evenings and get it back on the road quicker.
