I have some money in it to date, but mostly a lot of grunt work on frame and frame type items, steering, brakes, rust removal, primer, paint, etc.
At a point where bigger bucks are gonna be required. Shocks, tires, engine/trans. Haven’t started on body yet.. tons to do.
Another Frankenstein item on this car are the wheels. Came with 17 inch metal spoke wheels... Correct me if wrong but 29 had wooden wheels? 30 and 31 had 19 inch? And I read that 17 inch wheels were introduced in 1932 and only lasted a year? 5 bolt pattern same on all as I understand. Not 100% sure on all this but did read it. Thanks Charlie.

The '28-'29 had 21 inch wire wheels.
The 17 inch wire wheels came on the 1933-34.
The 1932 used 18 inch wire wheels.
All same bolt pattern, 5 on 5 1/2.
