Default Re: Restoring Early Ford Parts

So, I'm reading your posts and thinking "Aren't they lucky to have access to the parts they need, regardless of condition." I'm sitting up here in Canada, where it appears that every early Ford V8 has either rusted back to the earth, or been crushed to make soup cans.
As I disassemble my '40 Tudor and finding missing, incorrect and downright dumb patchwork, (who would use wire nuts for joining wires in a car?), I envy you for being able to attend a swap meet and collect parts on the "if come".
So, I guess my message is - appreciate what you have, even though it may be old, rusted and needing repair. I am looking at becoming Dennis Carpenter's best customer. When I think of having to add 20% for exchange, and shipping issues, border etc., I cringe. You could be me.
