Re: 1937 120 Conv. Sedan - Blanche

So it was nice to get Blanche back into the garage after a short winter's nap! Thanks to the great winterization tips, and installation of a fully charged battery, she fired up on the first go!



I spent the day getting things prepped. I removed the hood, the old Firewall insulator, side kick boards, the heater, and the toe board. I managed to catch most of the anti-freeze when removing the heater. I then used about a full can of lubricant on the bolts underneath to prepare for the removal of the exhaust system and gas tank. Will need to do that a couple of times as they look pretty rusty.




I also began to survey the wiring, and behind the dash looks like a nest. Will look to remove the dashboard plates tomorrow to have a better look.



I also placed the Brake and Clutch Pedal Shank boots on now, so I do not forget when I go to put things back to together!

I took advantage of the winter, and ordered all the items I will replace this spring. Timing worked out nice, as they were some hefty lead times.

Going to tackle/replace:
1. Exhaust System
2. Gas Tank
3. Fuel Line
4. Wire Harness
5. Fire Wall Insulator and Side Kick-boards
6. Will probably look to tune up the heater too

Cheers!
