I've recently had a little time to work on the car lately. With a little help of another owner I've got some more research done on the car. It was built on Aug 14 1928. Found the date on the radiator. I've finished stripping the interior and started the wood frame repair
Wood repair
Interior
Looks like a nice project! Have fun with that. It's cool to see the wood work that goes into a restoration like this. You hardly ever see that.

its been awhile since I posted. Lots of progress, lots of issues. Some people would know my post on another website as going down the babbitt hole. So first I will update some of the interior progress and start a new thread on the engine.
Sewing up my own seats and headliner. The headliner is a map of Rt. 66
That sounds like a neat headliner! Please post some pics once complete.
@williamphillips kind of neat! If you ever get lost and you're traveling on Route 66 just look up! But not for too long lol.
