hello, I am new to YT and this forum. I would like to have any helpful input, advice, and suggestions before beginning my upcoming project.
So here's the project.
I have a 1940 ford 9n that is completely disassembled. This was a restoration project that was started by my friend and neighbor a few years ago. He unfortunately had a stroke and now his health will not allow him to finish it. He has passed the torch, and graciously given it to me, to be its new steward and finish it in his stead.
It was his plan to have the majority of it be chromed (although I don't plan to), instead of painted, and to this end had smoothed and polished nearly the entire drive train. See the attached pics.
I am just now beginning to unpack and inventory the entire thing and form a project plan.
In the meantime I would welcome any observations, ideas, and advice from everyone's knowledge and experience to help me do the finest job I can and honor both his generosity to me and to the spirit he intended for this little 9n
Thank you to all in advance and let me know if I can answer any questions or post more pics.
Jeff
