    read some... check out pics of T's that have been rodded, check out a few shows then read some more and look at more photos. . . you'll get a feel for what you want to do soon enough

    is the car a runner/driver?

    do you want to own a hot rod or an all original model t? thats really the best place to start

    Seems to me it survived 80 yrs. I wouldn't f**k it up now. If you want to rod a '26 T find a good candidate. Ones thats missing the drivatrain or something along those lines. Its only original once. I've always wanted to have a bone stock, and a hot rod version of the same car. That would be my goal with it.

    well thats what the wife wants. I already have a 41 ford truck rodded, a 40 sedan in the works if I ever get back on it! a 59 skyliner thats in pretty good shape, and a 65 chevlle ss convt so a stock T would be a slow run...... just hard to not change something!
