Steve Jelf Gofundme, Model T Project

Has anything been decided as to whether or not a Model T project will be pursued for Steve Jelf? It sounds as if he is coming out of the fog and it would be nice if there was a functional or restorable Model T waiting for him when he got home. I’m sure he would want the same year and style he had. Is the Model T he was driving salvageable? If so, perhaps his Model T friends in the area can do a detailed assessment of the T and start repairing the repairable parts. What has his family said about it? How is his Gofundme going?

Might want to first check with Steve on that.

I agree, best to wait and check with Steve. He was a regular poster on this forum, the fact that he is not posting since the accident should mean he has other priorities right now.

Steve may have to lean many things again, even to being able to walk.
That was the situation with many people that just had Covid-19.
Steve had some very serious injuries!

Steve is not walking yet.
Steve has 2 Model T's at home that need tranny work to be usable.
Steve's family are not T people.
Zach is taking good care of the house and animals.
Manny has the GoFundMe account under good management.
He has an iPad and can read it. He is working on how to post on it.
I know we all wish we could move things along a bit faster. We just have to be patient and let Steve continue to improve.

A 15 model T in any condition is restorable if you have the title.
There was an early Waco (airplane) rudder hanging on a wall at Flabob airport.
It had a N number on it
A local guy bought it and restored it to flying condition.
the picture is not the actual airplane
I have a 25 frame he can cut up and use for parts to fix his frame to start with.
