I got it running today! Sort of! It will start after I changed the leaking fuel pump on the 21 stud engine but it wont stay running. I'm going to swap the carb from the '48 59AB engine and see if will keep running. Next, bleed the bakes and check front wheel bearings, trans and rear fluid and see if will drive!
Here is some pictures of it all cleaned up.
This is the worst part the back of the cab and trunk lid. But I'm going to leave it as is and just drive it.
Here's the engine back from the machine shop with the Offy heads and intake manifold.

It is looking good and I agree, leave the slight damaged paint as it adds to the beauty of the car and its history. I hope you can get it running by just changing the carb, but ,man that built flatty will look cool in her engine bay too...If you find you haven't the time for that '29-30-31 roadster letz us know and I find room in my workshop for it...

Yes, he had a brand new set of repro bumpers with brackets and everything. I found one set of original bumper guards but will not use them as they won't match the condition of the new bumpers.

I'll bet you just sit in the garage sometimes, staring at this car and pinching yourself to see if it is really yours. I would be beside myself if that were mine. You are so very lucky to have scored such a great car in the shape it is in. Wow. I can't get enough of looking at your pictures.

Wow that really cleaned up excellent. The old and new flatties both look great!
I remember when I fired up my truck right after I bought it, it had been sitting 7 years unstarted. I was so extcited it ran , I thought put it in drive and drive it into the garage! Only then did I discover, no brakes!
Got it stopped about an inch from hitting something! Glad your doing the brakes next!

I tried rubber isolators between the frame and pump, but it made little difference. I don't mind spinning the motor over to refill the carb(s), it allows time to build oil pressure, jmho..
