My T Touring will take some time and require touching every aspect of the vehicle prior to being “road ready”.
Is a start-to-finish build thread acceptable in this forum? I’ve looked but don’t see any complete rebuild projects.

Fine by me. There are some extensive, illustrated threads rtelating to process and progress on individual's repairs and rebuilding Ts here. I find them interesting and informative.

Hot-rodders build.
Unless it's a "put-together," antique car owners restore.

Re: Build Threads: Appropriate or no?
You need to title the thread with a name which is easy to identify. "Such as Ground up restoration" , or "Rebuilding the car from chassis to complete car". Something which can be followed by others interested. From time to time, you also need to move the thread to the top. As for me, I usually only look at the page on the forum which is available when I click on it. I look for new posts. So from time to time you will need to post something new which you have done to keep interest up.

Re: Build Threads: Appropriate or no?
Norman. Including the year and body type would help those seeking information on certain aspects of their own rebuild. For instance, if I were restoring a 1926 coupe, a restoration thread on “Complete ground up restoration of my 1926 coupe” would be much more helpful to me than a generic thread entitled, “Ground up restoration of my car” on a 1914 touring.

Re: Build Threads: Appropriate or no?
That's what I did. It was very helpful. I have slowed down some recently so I have to start up again. Members here always love pictures and updates on what you are working on. Try looking up Getting Rattles back on the Road and you can see what I've done. Good luck with your build. Don't get discouraged. If I can do it anyone can.
