Took the 37 out for it's first test drive, fingers crossed!! Most all went well!
Ran well, shifted well. Need to check my brake light again, stopped working, and the speedo doesn't work, suspect cable related. Tweak out a few things and should be good to go!
It's been quite a project, came to me in boxes, buckets and cans. Parts of 4 or 5 Hudsons to make this one! A lot of help from Hudsonites on this board and others or I couldn't have done it!
Many Many thanks-------

    I think that brake switch can be pryed apart, cleaned and will work again. Did that to my 36

    I took it apart but one of the holes that the wire connector comes up out of was eaten out. I had a good starter switch, has the same plastic housing and switched the housings out. It was working good, so I just need to check it and make sure the switch is ok then trace back to light.
    Condensed picture album, will add a few more later-

    Thanks guys, it's been a heck of an experience!
    Dave, Diane is in very poor health, some of the club members may want to touch base with her, she has been having a rough time.
