    We were checking out the scrapyard, model T stuff all over the place. I spied the quarter panel and quickly recognized it. Walked around and my heart sank when I saw the rest of it. Got run over with a tractor...

    The door was there too, but twisted to hell and pretty rotted. There was a pair of 4-door sedan doors there too, but swiss cheese throughout and the inner structure had been cut away. I grabbed the pass. door just for grins, it will look good in front of the quarter.

    Also found what was left of this cowl...it's not usable. Very small sections of the sides of the cowl are ok but it's pretty rotted. I hear the firewall is in a restored 4-door somewhere.

    And finally...whats left of a....well, I'll let you come to that realization on your own. Lets just say I was getting a little misty eyed when we came across it. It's all that was left from a creek bed, and someone used an ax to get the roof off.
