Ahhh the picking god was shineing down on me this evening, and all by fluke luck as well. My grandson spent this afternoon with me and when I was takeing hime home to verdigre in stead of turning left into town I spontainiously turned right, My mind just said to me, you got Sean with you go look at the model T's & parts. This could not have ever turned better as not only did sean see old Ford model T's junk but a realy nice new corvette. Oh back to my picking I bought every thing he had left thats model T except 4 wire wheels I dought if I get them as we only talked about them and I never saw them, But I got two junked cars, a 1917 & a 1923 plus all of the modelt t parts in a cattle shead of all kinds of stuff from radiators to doors,on & on. Not only do I get it at less than current iron price but is also all going to be deliverd to my place. Seams to always workout good when your working a project with your grandson. Allso now as payback for owning to many 32-40's DD will likely need to see me when he get's around to doing his T,lol. Then to maybe not, Now he will just buy one ready to go. lol. This was my cheapest model T purchass yet for volume, and cheaper than my truck cab trip. I realy likely din't get a lot of parts for our truck but got some and a much further along on a 2nd truck for my other grandson, I could even make one now useing a car frame and a pickup as to a one ton TT that were working on now. it realy opens up posibilitys anyway. Both cars motors may be decent just can't say at this time.

Not shure when I will get delivery as it is at Danny's convenance, but he said on one of the rainydays he would have his son load it all up and bring it over. The good thing is that it's all payed for and out of my pocket change to boot. Each car $125 & a good sized load of parts for a pickup truck $50 Don't know what you folks think but it seems to me a good buy for a lot of fun to come. lol. and I get to price my parts as DD would price his 32-40's after buying them from bill. LOL. I'm shure I have a $400 radiator for your car DD & a $120 radiator shell & ect. LOL.

My 1st project is grampa joe's TT truck for Sean and that one can only be as it was for my dad, But my T can be anything yet I want it to be that I will one day give to Seamus. Already thinking of several posibilitys I can chouse from.

Have to addmitt I'm eagar to see what I bought in my yard, I think I have another buying trip at the end of this week out at stuart. Was just looking for one project the TT truck now I'm looking for two projects the 2nd could be car, truck, or pickup likey car or pickup as now I have a car frame to build on as well as one truck frame, I know this guy at sturat does have a short pickup box, but I looked at my long bed box & it can easly be shorted about 1-1/2 feet to about 6-1/2 feet? Think most of the boxes on car frames are at around 5ft?

The Suart trip is postponed for a while, The guy is geting interested in building himself again, I think this is good for me as I think I just may have things he needs and vice-versa. He wants to come over hear now and see my stuff as well. I will be getting Oak boards soon for rebuilding the truck boxes, both of them.

It started raining this evening, I'm hopeing it rains all night and tomarow as this is what I need to get the model T cars I bought deliverd, so have my fingures crossed & hopeing tomarow will be the day. Rain is likely to get my floor boards plained and ready to come home as well. Got my 3 model T truck cabs inside yesterday as I have ben worried a storm may come and toss them around.
