Running for the first time since 1950s

It took me over a year but anouther one lives.
The last time this T ran my dad was a teen and he and his buddy drove it into the woods where it died. It sat there for many years until being rescued and dragged to a barn. Cow barn to cow barn for the next 50 years. The car still smells like cow pee sometimes.
2 hours a day 6 days a week for 12 months. Everything cleaned, repaired, rebuilt.
Few minor leaks, a lesson in clutch adjustment, then I'll be ready to start on the body.
I have to say I was very nervous about cranking it. This is the first T engine and transmission I have ever rebuilt. It was a sweat moment when it fired right up and purred like new.
