That's going to extremes just to stop a little oil leakage on the garage floor! :)

Impressive art.
Now draw dashed lines how everything fits together.

I've heard of "off the wall" restorations, but this tops them all!

Reminds me of LEGO has announced a 1060 piece set for a Model T in spring next year.
For a short time I wondered, if the the LEGo-set would have more pieces than the original :D

First look at that photo , thought I was seeing an old plastic model of a T spread apart ready to glue it up!

Used to build a bunch of car models.

I read somewhere that a Model T has about 5,000 parts.
