No pictures yet, will upload tomorrow... but have done:
Engine:
-tinware, intake manifold and valve covers installed.
-took the heater boxes to a lcoal welder to remove the rests of the welded on muffler they came with an weld extension tubes to fit stock muffler (with peashooters!)
-took carb apart (H30PICS). Found idle, air and accel pump jets clogged and float with broken tang. Did this bug ever ran with that carb?
-submerged carb parts for a day in solvent (could not find carb cleaner in non-spray form locally).
-Reassembled most of carb after devlogging every passage.
-bought a used but good float for US$4.
Chassis/Car:
-Did some grinding of transmission for 12 volt engine. Guided by pictures posted here and 'How to hot rod' book. Could not decide when to quit, so grinded a los of the humps on the tranny mounts, and little on the rest. How to know withou installing engine how much to grind?
-Started treating rust.
-Installed battery. Car did not catch fire (good) has low beams (better) no other light works (not that good :)
