I would like to find someone that can use these parts. We were cleaning out the family house before putting it up for sale, and found lots of Model T parts in the garage attic. Back in the 70's I know that my Father-in-law had a 1919 Model T touring project that he was working on.There are possibly some '41 Ford parts in there as well, he had a pick up too. I have front fenders, steering columns, radiator, headlights, leaf springs, rims, seat springs, inspection pan, misc. sheet metal, pistons, head, block and more. I'm a car guy, just not a Model T guy, and some of this stuff is probably hard to come by, I'd hate to just scrap it. I took some pics of everything as it sits on the garage floor, I will post a few of them just to give an idea of what's there. I have more pictures, but can't post all of them. The house is on the market now, and we will have to empty the garage soon. The parts are in Des Plaines, Illinois. Sorry, couldn't get the pics to attach.

You probably couldn't get the pictures to attach because the need to be resized. When I use my cell phone camera, I have to resize each picture down to 25% of its original size.

Lots of these parts are not Model T, many are later Ford parts from the 1930's. You might want to take them to "Little Hershey" swap meet, Boone County Fair Grounds on May 20th.
