    I picked up this lovely near mint Model-T radiator on eBay in Germany. Ended up getting it for less than $200. I think they're worth a bit more than that! It's definitely an original, it has original tanks but the matrix has been replaced at some time. It's really good though so I can use it as it is.
    Mostly one starts a build with a chassis or body or both. It's a small piece to start with but it's such a nice piece it warrants a car building round it.
    I'm thinking of an early Gow-Job on a Model-A rolling chassis with a circa '23 T roadster body.

  2. I think that it will be stunning, as I have felt about all of the builds you have chronicled for us!

    I look forward to it! :D

    Although this is very appealing. It'd be a quick build :) and fun to drive. Maybe A based though. The Model-T axle and steering is a bit scary.

    I'm set on a banger. I like the sound and it feels more right for an early Gow-Job.
    I like this too. I've also got the cowl top and dash for one of these.

    Another pic of Multi's car; long been one of my favorites. You couldn't go wrong doing something like this.

    Crazy, in a good way. I'm just waiting for one of us to come up with a chain-driven, steam powered buckboard...
