good morning red, great post and pic, I loved the part about being ready to go somewhere when you hit the starter :lol: or did you hand crank it? the 3 options red, bear in mind this is just my opinion, looking at the pic you posted you have a nice straight car, I don't see any body damage, I don't see anything missing, and you have the title.
the other very big plus you have going here is your local model T club, which is tied to model T clubs all over the U.S., as you know from being on this forum red the knowledge and experiance here is amazing. that is a huge resourse for you as you move along on the rebuild.
i am SURE there is more than one model T forum online, and in todays world we are just a click away from answers (google is your friend) post a question or i'm looking for? on here or the club, or any model T forum and in minutes or hours someone comes back wiith your answer. what i'm trying to get to here red with all this rambling you won't be working on the old girl alone, you'll have hundreds of people watching and helping you out in any way they can.
now as john wayne used to say lets get down to the n*t cutting here: do you have the desire/passion to get going on this?
is the old girl peeking through all the stuff you have piled around her, saying "come on get me out of here" i want to get back on the road
red i'm busy right now with my business work but every day I sneak in a few minutes, a 1/2 hour, sometimes more on my m5 rebuild, trying to get something done every day.
what where your plans when you bought the car red?
why are those plans on hold?
have those plans changed?
get the old girl out red, put her up on jack stands, pull the wheels, take them in to your buddys at the T club, if they check out good (pull the tires off) put them in a tub of boiled linseed oil to soak for the duration of the build, longer the better.
just my 2 cents worth red, don't let the old girl sit and rot, and my vote is get her up and running and back on the road, every piece of old iron has a story to tell, let her talk!!
