Hi Andy,
Be carefull how you say that. I once was looking at a super nice 26 coupe hot rod that belonged to the president of one of the biggest Ford
dealerships in the country. He asked what I thought, I told him with enough time & money I could restore it. He was not amused!!!!
Craig.
P. S. The dealership does oun a bunch of beautifuly restored T's

Yur not alone Andy. My speedster was re-bodied because of a freebie gas cap… 18 years ago! Nothings been free since…😩

The whole front end in sumpin else, beautiful radiator and 3 springer kit too. The wire wheels are a mystery tho… the caps look like the recently discussed Messenger wheels, but are demountable rims so possibly Spranger…?

I too would say Spranger ( I used to have an orphan Spranger and the wheel nut looked just like those ones ) . Interesting front axle setup . 490 Chevy front springs ? ( a Buddy of mine suggested this idea so I cannot claim it as my idea ) -Dusty
