This
was the original Model T I purchased on E-bay in June of
2006. It was represented as a partially restored 1922
pick up. However, when it arrived I determined the only
thing that was partially restored was the pick up body.
That body was so poorly constructed I knew I had to
discard it and start from scratch. In addition,
according to the VIN number on the engine, the engine
was built for a 1924 model. Sheet metal was missing,
too. There were no rear fenders or engine cowling. The
front fenders, running boards, splash guards were pitted
and badly rusted underneath. They would need serious
body work. Later I elected to replace them with
reproduction sheet metal parts. The wheel spokes needed
replacement, too.
