Guest humm Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Can anyone recommend a good book or publication on replacing top and body wood in the Model T?If you have not done so, go to either The Model T Club of America or the Model T International web site and check their publication offerings.Years ago, (in the 1960's) I assisted in the rebuilding of a 1922 Ford Coupe. Part of the work was the rewooding of the main body. At that time the reference books for Model T Coarch work was limited. For the coach building we relyed on publicatins on horse drawn vehicles. You may want to check the publications of the Carriage Association of America. The y have a listing on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazycars Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Thank you kindly for this advice. BTW, the interior is pretty well shot so no worries about preserving it. Why I take on the toughest projects, I'll never know! Kind of like the lost dog that followed me home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cahartley Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) crazycars........over the years I found that the less effort I put into a tractor or car the less I loved it.The one's I love the most are the ones that have the most "me" in them....... Not needing to salvage the interior will make putting on the rearmost top wood much MUCH easier!
