Hi,

when i first read the add, i thought: "I can buy the car, strip the parts I need, and then sell the rest altogether or as spare parts someone may need", that's a nice point to take into account. Unfortunately, the one which was published last week was completely except for the transmission.
I'll also try to find some manual gearbox, as we are too used to it here. Except I can get a quick-shift-and-auto one, I will stick with manual transmission. It's only that I feel more comfortable, and have more control of the car.

It doesn't matter (at least for me and now) how many days (months or years too) it will take. I only hope I still can drive it when its finished! :-)) Now, seriously, I think I won't be able to get all the parts needed at the beginning, and things are very likely to change when the rod is at its advanced stages, and for several projects I found on the net, it doesn't take less than 3 years (that's if you have a life too, and don't spend 16 hours a day with the car). I'm seriously considering to get spare and performance parts from abroad in case local industries can't help me, so it will take more time to get the parts too.

One question about model A: I found some places where coupes one are called "Hiboy" (or Hi Boy?) but other places where not. Are there two models?

Do you have some background info about A models? Historical one and technical too, like physical measures. Any site? or book?

I started to look info on frame restoration. My main concern now is to know if i can repair a rusted/holed one. found some sites but couldn't dig deep into the process.

See you.
