You might have to "chop and channel" it.

Pick up Dec '14, last driven 1958, took my first drive in mid Feb 2015, still working on it but drive her most every day now.
Did not run, did not stop, no wiring, no lights, no interior, most glass broke, car full of trash up to the windows...and those are the good points.
I work on it most everyday too.
It's almost been a year, and shes come a long way.
I've learned a hell of lot about model A's in the past year, just a few more decades and I just may have this down.

What he said! Especially if you have never done one before and there is nobody around who knows what they are doing and knows Model A's who can take the time to help you. The odds are pretty good that the project will never get finished. You can put in a bundle of money and 1000 hours of work and still have a lot left to do when you finally realize that you have had enough. It can be done though and you will be happy with it when it is finished.

But if this is your first attempt then follow the above advice. Always buy the best car you can afford.

Been there, done that.
