    Should I put all the newb questions here or in the respective forums?

    No, I got very lucky and found it in its current state.... Depending on my other projects I'm hoping to take it down and redo it this winter

    Welcome from Kansas City! I wish I could say that "I would tear it down and redo it this winter." I've been working on mine for 3 yrs now, and I'm still far off from completion (ouch). I'm hoping to get it close to finished sometime next year or the year after. LOL!

    That's a story I hear so often... Truthfully I'm afraid of something like that happen to me. I know life takes over sometimes and these projects take a back seat.

    I may sell my bones and fund a more complete project.

    If that is your intent, what you have may fund some of your expenses. A project that is a running car lets you enjoy the ride while you are making changes to suit you.

    A few things in life moved unexpectedly and selling these parts maybe more of a necessity and not just an idea.

    With that being the case, where within the forum would be the right place to gather a value on the items I have?

    Well, the value is what it is worth to someone else. A starting point might be to look for similar items in a catalog (Speedway? Early Ford Parts?) and price your "used" items about half of new. Just sayin . . .

    You're correct, a starting point is what I'm looking for thank you.

    I've yet to find any tubs for sale... How do you suggest I find a starting price for them and the frame.

    I greatly appreciate all the advice!

    I would search my local region on market place, Craigslist, etc. Any old car or parts advertising platforms or swap meets.
