Old Guy with his second 1949 Ford

I recently purchased my second 1949 Ford. It is a Custom Tudor in very good condition. My first 1949 Ford was a rather beaten Fordor that I bought when I was a teenager for $35...back in the day.

This new one is entered in the 2018 Great Race from Buffalo, NY to Halifax, NS. So, I am rebuilding and upgrading hte car for that event. A lot of things I remember from 50+ years ago; but now I am digging into other details. Will need some help on these.
