I was over at a friend's garage and he is going to build this Model T into an old hot rod. He found the NOS turtle deck at Hershey still retains some original pant and striping. Will post better pics along with progress and his exact intentions in the near future. It will be all OLD equipment of the period for sure. He is a period Model T and Model A collector and restoration expert.
Just spoke to him and he is putting in a worked 4 banger with Rajo overhead and a Ruckstell 2 speed rear.
