You will also need TWO indispensable books:
1. MEMBERSHIP ROSTER of the Model A Ford Club of America
2. MEMBERSHIP ROSTER of the Model A Restorer's Club

These two books will be an invaluable source for both mechanical repair AND for social networking. A very large part of the Model A experience is meeting and enjoying the company of other like-minded people. For example, if you make it to Eureka, Calif, you would have a free stay (for both lodging, and repair if needed). I am sure you will find other offers along the road. Eureka is home to the Giant Redwood trees, and the largest Victorian Seaport on the West Coast.

Dirt roads won't be a problem for the Ford Model A. Thirty years ago I drove 10,000 miles to the Northern part of Alaska (from California); of which about 1,000 miles were on gravel roads. On my ranch I drive all the dirt roads with my Ford Model A. (pictured on Avitar to left of this post)

Language won't be a problem, as almost everyone in America speaks Danish as a Second Language, and a great many people, especially the older ones, speak English (well, "American"). But judging from your Forum writing skills I suspect that you are either an ex-pat. or a well-educated English speaker.
