    Just got home after 4000 km to pick up my 1927 model T. I'm new to this type of hot rod lifestyle for the last 10 plus years I had my 68 chevelle and was doing the pro touring thing..

    I doubt I have to explain home much fun I have had with this car already, thinking about changes I need to make but knowing I will do it not find someone to do it for me so it magazine perfect, if a rock bounces up and hits the car I don't crap myself because of a $10,000 plus paint job you just enjoy..we hit three seperate storms and she was covered in salt...no worries..little soap and water bobs your uncle.

    Need to pull the seats as I have no room... I was looking at various seats but due to size may just put in a thin padded right on the floor and back rest (if anyone has this please show pics..windows are in with a very loose rachet system but the lever is in my leg so that will go..don't ever plan on riding without window down anyway lol

    I'm going to post some pics comments welcome

    We can't see,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what is the problem..... the Willys dash is cool, For bucket seats find Crosley seats , For bench seat go the a used furniture store, Goodwill ,Salvation Army ,,,,find a real leather couch cut it down it fit your requirement,

    i hope you have wheels and tires on your list of things to change, gross, and i mean that in the kindest possible way.
     
  21. I can see a boat load of stuff to change before the wheels and tires! Like the exhaust, front shocks, The wrench that operates the window, the interior, I could go on ......

    I'm sure the OP will have fun making it his own
