Re: 1940 super eight 160 series 1804 model 1362 138" Wheelbase: making it driveable

After about three years of fiddling around with the car it is running. In the process I fixed things that were obviously broken (e.g. leaking front shock, passenger side king pin), put new tires on it with the correct 16" rims, gave the car a complete tune up (e.g. taking apart the distributor, check tolerances and cleaning it up) and installed any new chrome pieces I had laying around from my 20 year "virtual restoration" process. My last few months were spent taking the front clip apart while it was off the car and then putting it back together. Now to get it licensed and on the road to give it a couple of shake down cruises. Next up are to get a new oil pressure sensor, a new brake light switch and chase down so minor electrical issues.
