Hi Geoff,
Welcome to the greatest hobby int he world. I always tell people to start by joining the Model A Restorers club. When you join you will find the closest Region to your home. Go and join the local Region. It is full of wonderful members who are willing to help you. After getting involved you will go on tours and events and really start to enjoy the hobby.
Books:
- The Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards - MARC Office
- The Ford Model A as Henry built it. - George DeAngelis
- Model A Ford Troubleshooting and Diagnostics - Les Andrews
All of these you can buy from theMARC office at 734-427-9050
and when you call you can join right away and don't forget to ask for the phone number of the local region near you.
I agree with everyone elso do not start to build a car until you are absolutley sure it is the one you want and fit into. I always tell people to head for a Town Sedan (you can haul people) but my favorite Model A is a roadster, Good Luck on this new adventure
