I don't know if OP confirmed fuel and spark. When my good starting 37 stopped starting , I found the rubber fuel line from firewall to fuel bowl was filled with pinholes from ethanol gas. I confirmed by wrapping electrical tape around it. I ordered a new line that was ok with ethanol.

I doubt you have the same problem I had with my 37 but the rubber line from firewall to fuel pump was full of pinholes from the ethenol in gas. On a hunch I wrapped it with electrical tape and got it to run. I replaced the line with a ethenol resistant one.

Thank you Deuce. I got lucky. His measurements were so close to mine that I chanced it and drove to check it out. I have no way of knowing for sure it was from a 38 pickup but my vent lid fit and it was a good dry vent. Anyone know what the differences are between a commercial vent and passenger?

I have found mixed information about the cowl vents. So asking the experts if a 38 ford pickup cowl vent hole could be used as a donor for my 37 sedan? Thanks, Don

Thanks nospartsman. I assume those are spot welded on like the 34. I will have to fab something up. Maybe time to think about seat belts as well to make the wife happy.

Nospartsman, That would be terrific if you could shoot the front seat mounting area. Thanks!

I wish the guys that removed old floor would have kept it for me. I swear they don't let anything lay more than 24 hours. I guess I will weld some kind of support system under the floors before I undercoat it.

Thanks Jseery. I have similar issue on my 34 coupe so your pics really help. I wasn't sure if they were full width. I will probably have to fab something.

I had the floor replaced in my 37 and now realize that any brackets or braces that the seat would have bolted into are long gone. I looked in my EV8 37 Restoration book but can not find what would have been on the underside of the 37 floor that the front seat would have bolted to. Does anyone...

Yeah, can't wait to try that with 130AH 10 inch lithium batteries we have stacked on a pallet.

I have talked to you a few times in the past when I bought my fenders and never really thought one way or the other about whether it was a 800 number.

I was waiting for the inevitable "37 is the ugliest".

Zeke, I am curious how the upholstery attaches on the door posts. Do you have an idea? Mine had some little wooden blocks glued in that are not original. What is yours like?

I tripped over something in Dads garage but it was a steering pump from a 73 Ford :-(

Damn, Neal. Where did you trip over that at?
