Miles; Do not despair. Your car is 95 years old. What's another year or two to get it into usable condition?. Patience and perseverance is 99% of anything worth doing. Once you get it running you'll discover all it's suspension and steering faults. If you're lucky. I think $25, (plus shipping), for the instruction manual will be money well spent. I don't know the history or condition of your car. Cosmetics are are expensive and never ending. Mechanically your car is gosh darn simple. I plan on preserving my car's body and making it mechanically sound. I'll leave cosmetics for the next owner. I bought my car from a wonderful woman on her 89th birthday. Originally it belonged to her husband's grandfather. They had a number of rare, fully restored cars She told me that with this car "they let the kids use". I'm glad those kids weren't shredded by the plate glass windshield or wind deflectors. My car needs all (12) spring bolts and bushings, king pins and bushing as well as tie rod bolts and bushings. Meyers prices are pretty reasonable but that still comes to about $1100. As owner/operator/cheapskate of a machine shop I plan to make make all or most of those parts myself. If other people have need for those, (1924), parts I could make some extras. Nat
