Welcome! You'll find lots of help among this board and good luck with your project! It might be helpful to include your location as people can give you an idea of clubs in your area, lend a hand and give you an idea of parts, vendors, and general model A experts near you that can lend a hand when needed. I've been Model A'ing for a year now and have had the good fortune of having a very active club nearby. I've had a great time and I couldn't have come nearly as far as I have with my project, nor done it anywhere nearly as cost effective without their help, parts and mentoring. I've met a great new group of friends this way also. Keep us updated on the progress!
