Default 1930 Sport Coupe finally!!

Finally put it on the rollback and took it to my shop. It's sit in my dad's garage for atleast five years and not been cranked, probably closer to ten if not more. You know how time gets away.. It's in pretty solid shape but as always you keep finding things, j shape in front fender that's welded underneath. It's a little rusty in the rear underneath but looks like just surface rust. I'd say if disassembled there's probably more serious rust. But it stays dry and won't hit the road salt while I'm custodian.

It's fun and brings back memories I didn't even know I had, my grand dad with old parts in his little out building with dirt floor that was his workshop. Stumbling over old frames that were covered up by weeds and asking my dad "what's this"? Oh, that's an old model (t) (a) frame, rear end, body. The stuff wasn't that special then as poor folks had used up what they thought was the useful life of it and they wanted something new and trouble free.. Ha!

I don't know about you fellows but I feel a connection with the past that's very satisfying with this car.

I've learned a few things,,, it's a 1930 sport coupe with an engine assembly number A4331520. I'm getting February of 1931????? Title number doesn't match but it's close with a433----- The cross rail in front of the seat is marked NK1535, assembled in Norfolk Va?? Not sure what 1535 signifies?

Since I have you here I will ask one more question,,,,,,, what is the threaded looking thing behind the bearing? It looks like it's bent just a little.
