I hope he's good at it. I saw the old Transmission sitting on the floor when we stopped and visited. It wasn't something that I wanted to pick up to look it over.

I bet not..... Call and get an RMA # and send it back for an overhaul. Be fun to see the expression on their face when they opened the box ......

Gonna build the car around it? Is this the first piece? Or is it just a display piece.

I’m gonna build it like Johnny Cash built his Cadillac lol. I jacked it up and put it on wood blocks to keep it out of the dirt for now, and I snagged one of the doors that had come off it as a test piece to find out the best way to remove the surface rust

Sounds like a solid plan - the 4 wheel drive part can be Model T 2.0
