Ford Edge. I love it, and I am not a ford guy. Although I have this in the garage now too...


A Model T sedan body... do you have a chassis? or will you hotrod it? ...or make a trailer out of it? LOL. Sorry. Had to ask, after all this is a trailer forum.

:R

Either way, vintage tin is wonderful.

:thumbsup:

Hanging in the rafters of the garage are (2) frames; Model T and Model TT. I have parts for 90% of the TT plus many T parts; 20 wheels from fair to good. Somewhere there is a pair of old Pierce-Arrow wood spoke wheels.

I am going to build a late 50's hot rod out of it. Will be welding up my own frame unless I can find a stocker really cheap. :twisted:

Build your own!!! The stock frames were weak at best and most have enough rust issues to not waste the time on. I helped with a "T" roadster that we put a blown Chevy small block in.

Sorry to hijack post.

Been a while since I did some work on the tear. Been working on motorcycles all summer. Time to put on the drivers side tin, windows and take it out on the maiden voyage. g
