I look forward to this build. I just did some work for a customer with a 1946 Studebaker and he has a 34 5-window in his backyard that was...
I like everything your doing to your car. I need to re-read the entire post this evening :) Keep up the good work and keep the pictures coming...
Sweet Truck. I see you have the Deluxe Fresh Air Heater. I just installed one of those for a Customer 54 Chevrolet Truck. The owner also had me...

Glad you saved them!
Wish I lived closer....I would love to check out all the Merc's and see the shop.
I look forward to seeing more of your project when you start back up.
Wow.....I'm very happy for you. Can't wait to see some pictures when you have the toys parked around the house :)
I just finished working on the exact same year for a Customer. The truck really grew on me....Love the Dash and headlights with built in signal....
Very Nice!!!
I try to pick up the 51 doors when I see one in good condition. That's the only year they made that door with the pull down handle and the wing...
I would say a 1948 or 1949 cab. My nephews 1948 had the smoother firewall like your. What type of gauges MPH and oil pressure do you have in...

Wow......I like your work!!! Thank You for sharing and replying to all the questions. I can't wait for the next update.
I think it's Great that you show in progress pictures. Then later you can tell us how you go about fixing the imperfections before applying the...
The pouring the gas down the carb to get it to fire sounds like a choke problem right off the bat. If I was their the first thing I would do is...
If it was me, I would install my amp meter inline with the power wire either coming into or out of the circuit breaker to see what kind of draw...
That is really slick. I sure hate getting stuck with that wire and need that tool.
Oh yes......I have my comfortable sneakers ready for the miles of walking all those rows and rows of goodies :)
Hmmm...maybe no dielectric grease between the bottom of the module and the case?
I never seen either dash before. I like em both....way cool!!!
