The Ford Barn

So I'm be had quit a few projects. Nothing older than a 64 though. So, I finally made the plunge. I've looked for a long time and have always wanted to, but I got a deal I couldn't pass up. I now own a 1946 Mercury 8 Town sedan. The body is in great shape, the interior is rotted, and the engine is non existent. But it cost me a whopping 600. So now I need to to start putting things together. I've never worked on a flathead, and I don't know where to start. (Especially since it isn't there). I also rather not buy a turn key crate engine. I'd like to learn. So, any tips, advice, or hints for my new toy are greatly appreciated. IMG_0864.jpg
