Yesterday marked the first real day of restoration on my '40! It only took me a couple years, but last night I started taking all of the old wires off and rewiring it according to the manual. Somebody along the way also put the battery in the trunk and covered the old battery box with a plate of metal. I removed the plate to find a deacent battery box, it just had a bad base. My step dad and I fixed the battery box with a new piece of metal. Now I need to find a battery that fits the box! (The 12v in the trunk is an inch and a half too wide) I don't have any pics now, but will take some when more work is done.
Matt Burnette called this project right... I started with the battery box, so why not add some wires, and new metal for the floors in the back, and I just happened to have a can of black rustoleum to cover some rust......
