replacement body panels for model a?
Are there any sources for replacement panels for model As or Ts? Ive seen some used ones on ebay and such but was curious to know if there are any after market sources. My cousin said his neighbor has a model A or T body behind his barn with the bottom of the back panels pretty much rusted away. Thought it would be a good starter project.

Try Brookville Roadsters out of Ohio. I know they have complete body packages and parts for model A's.

I just checked there and it was just whole bodies and chassis. I did however find some things to check out from Hemmings catalog list.

Howell Sheet Metal in Texas is a good source!

Well since I've got a 31 5 window Iv'e been building, thought I'd jump in.
Ya can buy any patch panel ya need long as it's below the belt line ( the band just below the windows) just doesn't seem to be a source for anything above that, and beleive me I've searched, you can also get deck or rumble lids in either fiberglass or steel, and ya can buy the sun visor. Any thing else ya need above that belt line you will have to cut off another body or make it yourself......
In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
How did you get hooked on cars?
