An excellent re-creation of a famous car
One area of the car is causing pause for thought, I am unsure of which oil to use in the 1923 back diff/axel, the mixture of oil and grease recommended in the old lubricating charts sound 'interesting',
From memory the original differential lube was a mixture of 'engine oil and yellow grease'- yellow grease has long gone, replaced by Lithium grease- not sure how this mixes with SAE 30.
Your suggestion of D 140 sounds good (non sulphur phosphorous)
