I wanted to post a conclusion to this. I made an appointment with the CHP and trailered the car down for an inspection. The officer performing it was crazy-knowledgeable about Model A's and even had his own MAFCA restoration and judging criteria book (I really didn't expect this). After...

The engine was swapped out a long time ago. I'm just going off the frame number. The car was cut and modded and basically ruined long ago. I just felt pity for it and decided that it made it this far without being scrapped and it needed to live again. The more I work on it the more I am...

OK, Got it. Thanks everyone for the help. 160B, that is perfect. Burner31, I'll keep that in my back pocket as Plan B.

OK, A little googling and I found it, "BLADE OF DISHONOR" by Thomas Pluck. I have to admit that I cant imagine where it addresses Model A, but if you say so... (just kidding, I found it, 28-31 ford assembly line and plants)

Found them, THANKS EVERYBODY!

Thanks everyone for the info. "Rebuilding" something from thin air is harder that I thought it was going to be!

I am rebuilding a basket case 1930 roadster and am now getting to the seat. I have the proper interior wood kit, package tray and seat base already. I am having a hell of a time finding pictures of a roadster seat. specifically of the bottom of the cushion. Does it have a wooden frame or does...
