The Ford Barn

Hello all, my name's Charlie. I'm 16, and I just bought myself a 1924ish T frame. I got it for 80$, and since I don't have a title for it I would like to build it into a speedster, or cycle car.

I'm kind of looking for some advice on building this. I'm looking at a '25 Chevy bucket, and I have just been told about a '28 ford whippet front clip. (Cowl, hood and radiator with shell) I need to either get new spokes and iron rims for my demountable's, or I'd like to convert to model A wires. I've heard that the tires for wire A rims are expensive though. Would rebuilding all four of my hickory's be cheaper than finding 4 good A rims and tires? I have access to my dad's full machine and fab shop, but my budget is quite low.

I also found a steering box out of an old mustang, Would this work in the T?

Thanks for reading, and this T is technically my first car.

Ccd.
