Thank You Tom. I have the Ford book and have been working under the hood for the past 11 months. It's not as pretty under the hood as it is on the exterior. Because so much has been changed under the hood, I don't know what bolts, nuts, etc. are correct, their correct installation, etc., so I'm hoping to see a car that's correctly restored that I can inspect & photograph. (Wrong voltage regulator, starter solenoid, horn relay; Repro fuel pump, distributor & coil; distributor cap boots missing, etc.) The Ford book, service manual, etc. cover most things, but don't help me with the literal nuts & bolts sorts of details, and I feel like Mike Kubarth is going to get tired of hearing from me about every correct nut & bolt. For example: This is an Early 1939 (September 1938) with the scr*w*d on rather than riveted on cowl cross bar. Of the 4 screws, washers, and nuts, holding it on, 3 sets are the same, one is different. Maybe some of them are original, maybe not. I want to attempt to find the best/most correct information. Consulting the EFV-8 Club Roster is a great idea, especially since a new one just came out. Thanks again, Mike
