Default Re: question from a young guy

Hello, we were all young once, oh those days long ago, I'm 79 now. My first car was a rust free, 1930 Model A Town Sedan which was all disassembled by the previous owner for $300.00. This was purchased in 1964. I was still in college with bills to pay and my Dad was ripped. But three years later this car took me and my new wife away from the church. We never looked back, have had Model A s ever since and now a 1914 Model T. You have to start some place, here are some suggestions:
1. Get some books on how to restore a Model T. Learn about them.
2. Try to join a Model T club nearby. The club members will be pleased with your interest and help you along. You will make new friends who will have the same interest as you. Best of all, they will know where Model T s are located.
3. Study classifieds on the internet. Don't be put off by some of the pricing you will see. There is a lot of Model T parts out there. All you need is a frame to start hanging parts on.
4. If you find something to get started with, you may be able to get your Dad to go look at it. It is a great way to spend time with your Mom or Dad.

Good luck to you. By the way there is a Model T section on the Ford Barn, check in and let them know your interest. Ed
