I like the paint job! Just sold a 28 pu painted dark green. Ignore the originality pubahs telling you the running boards aren't correct and should be black. If you like them body color keep em like that.

I've bought two stainless exhaust systems from Waldron. The 36 woodie one fit pretty good although they had to make a 2nd crossover pipe for me as a muffler shop had to add 2 inches to get it to fit. Charged just for materials. The 41 woodie stainless exhaust required me modifying every piece to get it to fit. I cut and tacked and had a friend tig with stainless. If you know the exhaust shop is very good with antique cars that sounds like a deal to me or if you are going with dual exhaust.

Your light switch should be one to the left for parking lights and one to the right for headlights if I remember from my 36 correctly. Do you have an original light switch, the bulb looking thingy at the end of the steering column? The repop ones are crap and should be avoided. Only other problem with light switch could be bent light switch rod.
Thanks for the feedback.
