Very cool. Yeah I started a build a few years ago with another touring car. I ended up buying a model A so i sold the other T. I have a bunch of parts that needed to be used so it's time ro build a car.
I agree, buying a project car will save you $$, as long as you can use most of the existing parts in your build. Several years ago, I bought a '26 T coupe with a 350 & T5. It was running, but was not finished. I was able to add all the missing items (e-brake, gauges, floor, seats, lights, etc) & finish it like I wanted, w/o breaking the bank. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Yeah this will be an interesting experiment to see if I can pull it off on the cheap. I think a T is a good place to start a cheap build. My Model A is balloning and I'm about $5,000 to $7,000 into it and it's still a pile of parts. After I finish the T I'm going to get back on that car and create a build series for it.
Excited to see the rest of this build! Those old t-buckets are awesome! This gives me inspiration to build my own someday, hopefully 😃
