Just an absolutely beautiful car, you should be very proud of her.
Mine is Greta Garbo, Kev's is The Jackard, so you will need to tell us her appellation!
My 2 cents, I suggest pulling the fuel tank now and getting it off to be dipped/sealed. It takes a while and you will not be driving her for a while anyway. While out undo the gas line at the fuel pump and fill it full of brake clean or its like and blast the line clear too, compressed air will help blow it clear. Better yet, carefully remove the line and replace it with a new one using the old as a bending pattern. Also get a new rubber hose at the filler neck and a new cap (there is also a nice aftermarket Steele gas filler grommet if yours is brittle).
Takes away a lot of issues with the fuel supply if the system is properly purged/cleaned. 1937 was a while ago!
Have fun!
