Your title is definitely accurate, but it looks like a lot of fun! Keep us posted as you go along. These cars are beautiful, but they're pretty simple too. I did all the mechanical restoration on a '37 115, then upgraded to an original condition '37 120 that I've been a caretaker of.

As you start going through systems on your '38, be sure the check the condition of the bearings in the center steering link - it is a common wear point, and greatly affects driveability once you get it on the road.

Again, welcome, and let us know what help you need!
