    COOL!!! It's awesome that you were able to save this, and not be shooed off the property by someone who was going to "restore it someday"....

    UPDATE-----just to show you what a small world it is...........I was in Ft. lauderdale, Fl recently with some friends and at dinner 2 of them were talking about an old jalopy they helped build in the early 60's in Abilene, KS that had a Studebaker V8 in it. Said it was unfinshed and primitive. They were just kids and it was one of their first attempts at welding too. Turns out this is the same car in this story. This project is currently owned by Hamber "Bugsy" from manhattan, ks.

    Just found this thread for the first time. Never knew Model A Doors other than 28-29 Pickup would fit on a 26-27 T.
