Default Re: 1937 Ford Fordor Survivor

I recently changed the headlights on my 1937 Ford Fordor, replacing the sealed beam gear with original style teardrop lense. The stainless rings are original FoMoCo purchased from a FordBarner in Tennessee. These appear to be the original buckets but altered for the sealed beam convert. I have decided that I will restore these original buckets and re-install them on the car some day (plus keep my eyes open for some original lenses). For now, I'll use the repro.

Here is the threaded sleeve that holds the fuel tank neck to the tank. I will be attempting to get this off without damage. I will try to get it off--if I can not, I will cut it off and put on a new one when I am done restoring the tank.

This windshield needs attention. I purchased a replacement from a FordBarner in Indiana. It is not FoMoCo glass but it will do.

I have a lot of work ahead of me to get this car going. No big deal because that is what I signed up for--to get this old car running and back on the road. I have been accumulating boxes of parts and look forward to learning about Ford Flatheads and solving the problems.
