I'd love to hit Hershey some day but I'm 2500 miles away.

Nail polish remover is mostly acetone; I use it a LOT.

I'd wager someone drilled that hole to give the car a hotshot of starting fluid without removing the filter.

Beautiful car. Makes my '40 110 sedan look like used dog food by comparison.

Where I've had trouble with ethanol in old vehicles, they've been sitting with ethanol in them long enough or Bad Things To Happen. A fillup or five with ethanol on a road trip home would probably not hurt the system. Just flush it out with non-ethanol when you get home.

Beautiful car. Well done!

On my 115, the bolts pass through the mount, frame, and then to non-caged nuts on the underside. They came off remarkably easily when I pulled my engine. I used a combination wrench on the underside, which when jammed up against the frame, worked great with a ratchet from above.

Haven't tried the water pump bolt.

Beautiful car. I'm sure you'll find a happy buyer.

That's pretty much the setup on my '37 at present.

My '37 115c had a plastic inline filter between the pump and the carb, later replaced with a metal filter. The pump also had a glass bowl filter on the bottom which held a little bit of crud.

My '40 110 had the glass bowl type you mention attached to the carb, and the glass bowl beneath the pump as well. The carb glass bowl is a Carter product as well.
