It’s been kind of slow progress on the 37 the last couple of weeks. Other little projects and a twisted up back have eaten up most of my time. I’m still shooting for having it ready to take to our “big” car show in town the middle of October, and sent in my pre-registration last week.

Now that it’s registered and insured I have taken a couple of short test drives, mostly to set up the kick down cable. The truck feels really light and the 4.56 gears are going to be a lot of fun.

Somewhere along the line a previous owner decided it would be a good idea to remove the glove box liner and hack up the door to install a radio in the truck…..at least he didn’t butcher the dash.

I’ve been keeping an eye out for a replacement door, but so far have come up empty. For the mean time I decided to go ahead and just have a plaque made to cover the hole.

and put a data on to cover the inside hole.

It will do for now.

Cade stayed over again last night so today will pretty much be taken up working on the Mustang II. With any luck I’ll be able to get the cut out cables on tomorrow and then move on to hanging the front fenders back on it.
