Re: Taking the plunge into Model A ownership!
An old New York advertising slogan, "An educated consumer is our best customer".
Take your time & enjoy doing your home work about all the different body styles. I would narrow the the field by looking at 1930-31 Fords with stainless steel bright work.
The leaking gas tank is more of a project that you, a first timer needs to tackle as well as possible transmission issues.
I never like a restoration that has the cheapest 'zig-zag' tires, says the restoration was done on the cheap. For your first experience, spend a little more for more car, one which you can wash & drive immediately. Plenty of time later to learn to being a mechanic.
Hope this was helpful, best,
