    One of my buddy owes me some cash ($500) and he offered me a 26 Ford Model T. The only thing is it doesn't have the doors. Is it worth it? Can I find doors for it?

    Doors are an easy find. Roadster and touring doors cost nearly $400 for a good rebuildable set though.

    Doesn't matter the body style. If has any parts to it, it is worth $500.... Touring cars are bringing decent money these days!

    Does matter, a rusty coupe body with no doors would be lucky to bring the 500, a rusty roadster body with the turtle deck will bring 1000 + all day long

    It has the turtle deck.
     
  10. I just bought some door skins and made an inner structure for them. With some upholstered door panels, no one will know. I can post pictures if desired.

    I would like to see these pics. I've been curious how the skins are finished and how they adapt to the inner structures.
     
  12. WHAT BODY STYLE?? If it is a roadster I believe they are reproduced, if its a "doctor's coupe" you may have problems. In spite of what other people may say I can picture a '26 Model T Ford that is worth less than $500 and do you really need one?

    That is not worth $100! Unless you need a headache, don't take it.
     
  24. So, is he fucking with us?
     
  25. Maybe, how can you not know the difference between a roadster and a coupe !!!!!! :confused: JW
     
  26. He IS from Kaliforniaaa. Oops, did I type that? Just kidding my commie friends. I love Cali, and I never pray that an earthquake will wash that cesspool into the sea. Just kidding!!!
     
  27. Geezzzz,,,,, I wouldn't walk away from that. I'd run. What a P.O.S. If you took it your "Friend" should then owe you the $800.oo for helping him out again.

  28. By the way, that's a Coupe, not a Roadster, not a Turtle deck. A Coupe, or at least it used to be.
