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.

There are some very good threads at THE Model T Forum>>> http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/411944/411944.html

Here are a lot of very good threads about replacing the entire top which I also did last Fall.>>> https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=%22replace+model+t+top+wood%22&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest#channel=suggest&q=replace+ford+model+t+top+wood++mtfca

How is your interior?

If your interior is in decent shape and you would like to preserve it we should talk.

I don't want to type till morning.......

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.

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!
