Hellow my dad Al Cretul and i restored his 1923 T model last year.We took the body off and restored the frame,,we took all of the spokes out and sanded them,the fenders,running bords,and body we sanded down to the bare metal.It took us about a year to restore the car. We bought original parts from snyders in ohio. The car has ben setting in the garage for 40 years. The car looks and runs Great. Last week Sept 27 2008 we took the car to the Micanopy Antique car show and took seconed place. Here are some pictures thanks Kev.
Good work, Kev. That car will always reflect fond memories of you and your Dad's labor of love. If you want, send me your pictures, and I will size them a little bigger for this site (simplyconnected@aol.com). Congratulations on your beautiful restoration job. - Dave

What a great restoration job! You both did good, was this your first restoration project. Love to see those "T" in colors other than black. Hope to see it at one of the Florida shows. Remember the Lakeland show in February.
