I see what Brent meant about losing some data and going back in time….appears a few posts are missing but at least most of it’s still here (and I’m very glad the sites back).

In between a couple more trips to the VA and keeping the grass mowed down I did manage to get a few more things checked off. I got the transmission cooler lines built and new rear brakes on the rearend so I could get the emergency brakes sorted out.

I’ve really wanted to hear what the exhaust sounds like, get the transmission and cooling system filled along with checking the power steering (and get those pesky leak checks done). So I got around yesterday and hooked up some temporary battery cables and fuel lines, filled the radiator and fired it off and filled the transmission. On the plus side the rest of the electrical checked out, there were no leaks and the PS worked. I was a little concerned about the size of the radiator (which is a good deal smaller than the one on the test stand) but the temperature held steady right at 180 (the thermostat temp).

I found and joined this site 13 years ago shortly after I bought the 37 and at the time it was the hot project I was working on. Somehow it kept getting shoved into the back shed over and over again as I built 9 personal cars and trucks plus 2 motorcycles for my wife and me. I was really beginning to wonder if I would ever actually hear it run (and so was Bob ). Anyway still a ways to go ( brakes, front suspensions and fuel system ) before it’s actually on the road and then the body work starts. At least I haven’t bought any new project cars in a while so this should stay the center of attention.
