I don't think mine is that way but it would be cool if it did!

Here's some pictures of where it's currently parked. A little
Tough to make out the car.

Why some are sideways,
I don't know.

Damn, that poor chicken coop sure took a beating.

Hey, Thanks for the pictures. Looks like you have a serviceable firewall.

Carry on with the recovery and more pics!!

The chicken coop has to be nearly 100 years old. It will be coming along when I can get to it, hopefully sooner than later.

Do you plan to use the coop as your restoration garage? That would be quite a story.

Please do as much documenting as you can since most of that has fallen to the poor memories of those of us left that still love the "A"'s of our youth. I really need to sort out the pics taken in my youth to see if any were taken of the As.

I agree that would be neat to do, but the building would
Need some rehab that I don't have the time or patience to complete. I will document everything, the history of things are just as important to me as the things themselves. I'm a picker of all things old and cool!

Grandpap had this old A, a 1947 Cadillac, a bright pink Rambler (forget the year), and a blue MG midget with a four on the floor (if I remember right). This A is all that's left

I guess the building codes are lax where you live.

That lineshaft or arbor and flat belt pulley have value, so don't send them to scrap.
It will be interesting to see what's left of the Model A.

I will save everything for sure. I don't know what happened to this car. It's definitely half disassembled.

Yup. That is a project alright. Were any chickens killed in the tornado?

Looks like this can go into the "worst before picture" thread.

[Cool Hand Lurker]

I think this can go into the "Best Welcome to a New Guy" thread. His first thread and we got him to post 16 times! Plus hundreds of views by other Fordbarners!

Keep us up to date on your project, GT.

very cool -hopefully the car isnt supporting whats left of the coop. Wear your thick rubber/leather gloves for things that bite in that pile (alive, plant based, jagged rust, and broken glass :P) had about 4 all white baby opossums in the junk on the back of my AA when we drug it out. First thought they were kittens till one turned its face at me and hissed/growled...Momma opposum wasn't around (thankfully) so we put em in a box and took em back down to the tree line where the truck came from and dropped them back off...

WOW There's car in there? It's coming out in pieces. As you free up pieces, take take home with you or protect them in some way. Lotta Rust! We'll explain what you can do with that old kidde pool and your battery charger later. Incidentally that hood is probably worth a minimum of $100. And I'll bet at least a couple of guys wanted to buy that car in the past.
