Oh yeah it needs work! That is for certain!
I just found a complete running Ford flathead motor and 4 speed to put in it for $500. Not far from here. I found some one on line who makes reproduction motor mounts so that is a relief.
I will have to make a pair of fuel tanks though. There seems some good info on the web about that.
A gentleman in Cobalt restored a MkI not that long ago for the Bunker Military Museum (Static). So I have a reference close to hand to use as a model.
So as soon as it arrives I will get busy cleaning and sandblasting and removing crap. The engine will go in the shop on an engine stand and I will work on that on rainey days or over the winter.
