At idle it's essentially pegged out cool

.... on my 37 I left the face original but had D&M Restorations regulate the gauge so that the pressure is actually double what the hand indicates on the original face. Been doing good for over 20 years.

Great idea! I need to find a way to match the speedo mechanical drive to the electronic transmissions's Vehicle Speed Output... Any ideas there?

As for other updates, I've finished up the brakes, reupholstered the seat, fabricated the steering shaft (with u-joints and heim joints and even gotten the door glass installed (with rebuilt regulators) and door trim installed. I did the back glass last night and have started on body wiring (lights and such). We've been marching along. I drove the truck a few feet under it's own power which was a delight!
