So the '49 needs a brake upgrade, some wiring issues tightened up/finished, and the seat belts need to get installed. Also, since I ran out of gas tonight, I need to get a new fuel gauge sending unit.
Oh, I guess I need to be a little more active here too. Sorry about that, guys.
I am eyeballing some sheet metal parts too!

Nice score, I shipped some big parts greyhound before no problem. Can the seller wrap it up good for you?

Dang - you found NOS parts for a '49?
If a man speaks while in his garage and his wife does not hear it, is he still wrong?

well, the ebay seller that I bought the fuel sending unit from can't seem to find it in any of their 3 warehouses... so they refunded my money yesterday and now I need to find another one to buy. disappointing
