Hey guys,

So it seems like every month or so I change my mind on what I want to do for a body on my T. Since it's a part by part car I have a lot of free will to choose. My grandfather has a 23 roadster, and I love the body. Is it possible to find a roadster body around still? I know they are getting very hard to come by.

Matthew if you are looking for body panels or sheet metal parts for your 24 Roadster Howells in Beaumont Texas makes them.
Their website is www.fordor.com.
They have everything you need.
Sometimes they are a little slow but most of the time I have received my sheet metal parts within a few weeks or sooner.
Langs has the panels also but he gets his from Howells so if their out you have to wait anyway.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the responses guys. I really want to avoid getting a repro body. It may be a parts car, but my goal is to keep 90% or more of it authentic parts. I called my grandfather up and he said he knows of a model T graveyard in a backwoods area two guys own. There may be a body out there somewhere I can use.
