Default First 100 Miles!!! Or a touch more. My '39 Pickup

I have to apologize first as I haven't kept up on a thread I started a few months ago regarding fender welt questions for my pickup. After getting some great answers and advice the parts have all come together(I think) and some driving has been done. Drove to work before my start time at 5am this morning with headlights ablaze(well maybe just a glow), no other cars around so an easy trip to put me at 96 miles since she's been back on the road. After a trip home here are some pics and some observations. First she's running great, engine temp. is very consistent at 180 degrees, good oil pressure, brakes a little soft but work ok and she's starts easily every time. Still to do: Door glass&inner panels installed, Inside door&window handles etc as well. And lots more driving! Thanks for all the help to this point, more questions will need to be answered in future I'm sure. And yes I know some finishes like paint might not be concourse correct but it's the way I wanted, not for judging but using. Hey at least there's no SBC to ruin this beauty!
