The Ford Barn

See my avator, found this 1931 SW 160 -B, been sitting in storage since 1959, all there, but the interior fabric is mostly (all) gone, save the back seat which has the fold down arm rest (strange for a '31), no wiring, needs a windshield and one rear door window, no rust issues, engine complete with good compression, radiator holds water, hoses look good, paid $3500...good deal?
Found it in Fort Worth area, took it back home to Shawnee Oklahoma with me.
Will do a full carb re-build, full tune up, oil change, check tranny and rear end fluids...and then fire her up. Once I get her running I'll move to the brakes, after that it's just make-up issues to make her pretty.
So what do you all think...good barn find?
