1937 115C,
When I removed the front clip I did not remove the splash panels and the rubber that is installed along the bottom edge fractured from age... See photos
I'm looking for a source for the replacements..

Any help would be greatly appreciated ...

As mentioned it sounds like you have a grounding issue.

You can check for a ground by popping the lamp holder free of the back of the bezel and turning on the lights... If one of them is the offender than the system will not pulse

I had several under dash light socket wires that had lost the insulation during a bulb swap. I purchased LIQUID Electrical tape at home depot and coated the wires after moving the sockets down the wire.

Note: this was done laying with my feet laid over the seat back and head on the floor boards.
A word of caution, the liquid tape is runny and will drip, cover your carpets and its good to have a friend over to make sure the can does not tip...

If the lights worked with out issues before the bulb swap than you don't have to worry about the under hood wiring to the other lights right now.

Good hunting and as recommended else where look at adding a in line fuse to the wiring harness,.

Well.... with a lot of help from Fred at MAX MERRITT I got the needed parts for the machinist to take the stock block to the 3.5 bore. and.....
I needed 2 replacement rods due to loose pin holes in the rods.

I "did not read all the notes about rod to crank bearings" so had 4 of the original rods opened .020 to take late model .010 over sized bearings.
Trued the head, added hardened seats and had valves ground to match.

Had the cam reground byhttp://www.deltacam.com/

The crank trued by
Custom Crankshaft,4319 A St, Tacoma, WA 98418
(253) 476-4431

As mentioned earlier had the Trans rebuilt by
TRANSMISSION EXCHANGE COhttp://txchange.com/main.htm


Now comes the fun of remembering where all the pieces and nuts/bolts are and get it reassembled .

Of course as all projects that sit for 9 months I'll need to remove all the crap that has collected around the car.... :)
More to follow
