Yes you did and they worked out perfectly. The car owner and I were fortunate to have crossed paths with you. Thanks. John

I Need a restorable frame. What have you? Thanks. John PM me.

We found the original blue and black under crudely brush applied black paint. The blue is fleet color Rodeway Blue. Thanks for the complement.

Steve, I want to post photos of the interior because it is beautiful. It was done by a shop in Ames Iowa so I can't take credit. Before the interior shots I will "fit" some rose buds in the vases. The car drives well in first, second and reverse. I haven't got up the nerve to go faster yet. I forgot to look at the volt/amp gauge while underway. Steering is fairly light once underway. Suspension with driver only is stiffer than I thought it would be. Softer would be nice. It is a bit odd sitting back so far in the car. I can see the allure of a light electric for around town use. Four passengers would be a tight fit. The overall feel is that of a powered wagon. The car weights 2700 lbs. with 170 lb. driver. Thanks to you Steve for answering my questions and providing photos.

Milburn #6 test driven today. All seems fine. Much relief. I'll post interior shots soon. John

Have you talked to BILL HIRSCH?

I figured it out. I had cables crossed. Tiller forward for car forward. John

Milburn owners or those with Milburn experience please tell me if you push the speed control tiller forward to go forward or pull it back toward the driver to go forward. Thanks. John

So to be clear I'm reading that the interior door and window cranks, instrument bezels, w/shield crank/bezel, upper brake lever/button should be nickel. Thanks for the help. I want this work to be accurate. John

Now I'm curious. You say the upper part of the handle was nickel plated. Was nickel plate used on the w/shield crank handle/bezel, the instrument rims, the bumpers, the headlight rims, the ram hood ornament, the window and door handles etc or just the brake lever? Thanks. John Also do you have the formula or color info for the gray?

Just a suggestion on the floor board. I restored a 42 WC some time ago and while making the new floor board I made the battery access hole large enough to allow the battery to be pulled straight up or down through the board without removing the board. I fabricated a metal plate large enough to cover the access hole. It's silly to have to remove the floor mat and complete board to service the battery. I will do the same for the 37 MC in my shop now. It looks like your brake lever was sprayed with black paint. Can you tell if the lever was chrome plated originally? Thanks. John

Begging everyone's pardon for jumping into this thread. I would like to know if the small medallion in the center of the black truck front bumper is a factory part? Also does anyone know of a source for the RIBBED white walls on the black one? They are not mentioned in Cokers catalog. Thanks. John

Aftermarket AC units can be purchased from street rod sources. May rob the small 6 banger of power though. Disc brake setups may be available also although properly restored originals should work well. Use lower gears for descending mountain roads. These are not high speed vehicles under any circumstances. A high speed differential may end up overdriving the truck and make it unsafe. A properly restored front suspension and steering should steer easily. These trucks are not heavy. Your goal to drive the Great Race sounds fantastic. I'm restoring a 37 for a customer now. Luck.
