Default newbie with a barn find...

Hey all! New to the Ford Barn although I've read posts for years. I'm lucky enough to score a pretty nice "barn find" (well, it was more like a shed) 1930 Tudor. (this is my first "A") Someone played with it years ago but didn't mess anything up. I'm really surprised what is all there (I really think everything, except tires) and for the most part is in really great shape. First, I hope everyone enjoys the pics. There are cups inside from the 1985 Wisconsin State Fair so it must have been on the road then.

I would really like to try and get it running. Any tips on that? It needs spark plug wires, those are gone. What should the process be? I haven't tried to turn the motor over yet.

Beyond that, the fenders are good for the most part, dented up pretty good and where they meet the running boards they are a little rusty. Left running board is shot but the right one is mint. It's a pine 2x10. Almost no rust anywhere else besides some surface rust underneath in some spots. A couple small pinholes in the bottom corner of driver's door.

Anyway, Long story short, I think this thing could be a driver pretty quick, but long way from a show car. Any tips would be appreciated.
