Not sure the 46 Fordor is thread worthy yet but maybe I can get Chris to post a few pictures of it for me. Super Deluxe that I bought in Champaign Illinois when I was working as a fire fighter at Willard Airport back in 1991. Sold it to my F.I.L. shortly after. He drove it for a few years and then parked it. Put a battery in and got all the lights working. Kroiled the cylinders and let them soak. Checked and verified I had power to the distributor then installed a Charlie NY rebuilt distributor. It fired up! Will have to see if the smoke clears up after I get the fuel system up to speed. Still a good feeling to have another flathead come back to life.
