Hi Randy,
Firstly, I've been kinda quiet here simply because we took some vacation time - 9 days, in Florida to warm up, though I did follow the forum on the hotel's lobby PC. Then, like every other air trip, my wife caught a mega bad cold/flu so I became a Mr Mom. Then there are the homeowner's usual winter inside projects, and me, being a tightwad, do everything myself!! I'm rearranging much of the basement incoming plumbing from the HW heater and main as all these pipes and the heat water pipes were all sitting tightly together and in a dropped ceiling and across a couple of partitions from an earlier owners lack of skills (brains?).

I still think you are creating a lot of work for yourself and need to make sure your clutch leg is ready for more use, I do like your progress. My preference is for a manual too, but in a '31 chassis - probably not easily accomplished

P&J are one of the premier places you can do business. A friend bought his '32 chassis and body through them and has had a very good experience. Any problems and they were overnight corrected or advice given. His chassis arrived with a bent 9" housing - P&J had it picked up, returned to their vendor and a replacement sent, all within a week.

As far as my car - it's still in the garage - and covered, waiting for a few 40* days that can be warmed (it's ~17* now with a 25+mph wind) which means my shop is maybe 32*(at the thermometer, not the floor)
