The 37 is home
Well drove the round trip to Detroit to get it today . 94 is still being worked on glad it was Saturday though traffic was light . Link to album with pics from where PO bought just the body and frame no suspension then he added a amature restored frame and suspension with 40 Ford juice brake . Also with it is a almost rust free complete floor . Will be awhile before i start on it mustang still gets done first .
I did notice in pic i ran it to far forward and loaded the tongue hhmm oh well it home , maybe it was the 37 gallon full tank that helped geez the truck was thirsty .

The trip went great Daughter and I did some talking that doesn't happen very often . It took us 14 hour's with a few stops and me tense at the wheel hoping it all goes ok . I stopped quite a bit checking straps for tension .
Everyone Thank You i spent the morning inventorying everything and car is close to being right . But i think i am breaking it down and pull drive train out of 31 for this and take the drive train out of 37 and sell with the 31 went to ebay tonight .
I guess restored are great cars but just not for me . Rod with some new tech is the best . I did tinker a bit a put front end on with duct tape
I did find a windshield frame that it was missing from a great guy in virginia and cheap that part i like the most since i sell high and not drugs un less cars are Illegal .
Oh It did take me a bit to figure out how the hood opens and closes LOL

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
