I have seen people start with way worse.

Get ahold of some of the guys ibn your Dad's local Model-A Club Chapter. Ask them to come over, and tell them you just want to get it painted and running so you can drive it to the hardware store, or the bank every once in a while. Yell them you are not looking for perfection, just something a little nice. I can tell you putting that top wood frame in there by yourself is a job! I learned that the hard way.

It does take some funds to put a collector car together, and keep it roadworthy though. If it is just not your dream, maybe you should give it, or sell it very reasonably to a family member. I hate to say that, but it is the truth. Old car collecting is not for everyone John.
