The horizontal wood is a stiffener for the backrest wood uprights. It should be placed a bit lower than you have it now. The 3 wood uprights are fastened with stove bolts to the thin wood tack strip that goes around the top of the rear tub.
I checked out the classtique catalog and the prices are about $250. more than every one else. I guess I will wait the three weeks and keepbusy with other work. Thanks
Well it is time to install the upholstery and kick panels. I took car out for its maiden voyage. It was rather fun. Driving this model T is a whole new experience. Got to the end of the driveway and had to call my grandfather to figure out how to get it into low. A bit perplexing. Everyone driving by was beeping their horns. it was cool.
Well the car is registered now and I am driving it farther and farther from home. It is running fine and I took it up town to get an ice cream and gas the other day and it did not over heat and it mad it home fine. I live on a hill and it was a long way up to the general store in low. You really know there is only 20 horse under the hood. someone gave me a storage container and the "T" fits perfectly in there. It will be its new home and there is room for parts as well.
