Just wanted to introduce myself, new to the H.A.M.B and new to cl***ic cars. Just bought a 1923 metal body Ford T-Bucket from my brother up in Dallas. It's in great condition but I know eventually I'm going to want to put my own touches on it. I'm retired military so I've never had an opportunity to own something like this due to moving around and living either out of the mainland or overseas for the last 30 years. I'm going to be on a steep learning curve as I start figuring out things like the suspension, electrical, and motor (350 Destroked to 327). I know so little about the car other than it was built in Dallas and I have some of the builder notes. Are there any good resources in San Antonio for parts and or knowledge? I know right off the bat I need to replace the lower windscreen since it has a crack in it. Anyways, looking forward to this new hobby. John
I sure will! I having some engine problems I'm working on but hope to have them fixed by this weekend.

Many thanks for all those great resources willbe! This whole car is like a puzzle to me. No manual, no instructions and no information. It's a daily obsession to figure out whats installed, how it was done and what I can do to improve it.
