FS 1912 Ford T Frame Speedster

1912 Ford T Frame that had been modified for a speedster that resembled Frank Kulick's T speedster from way back in the day. I've double checked and I am sure it is a 1912 frame. Asking $800. Located about an hour north of Detroit, MI or 20 minutes SW of Port Huron, MI. [image][/image] 315094290_838...
