My first '32 Ford...some rust issues....

Picked up a '32 Ford 2dr sedan the other day...not quite sure why. I'm thinking I might be able to save the frame, IF it's not too rusty. This car sat in a local river for 30+ years so the body is complete garbage....severely rusted. I'm thinking I may straighten it out a little bit and make a sign for my shop....or maybe yard art. What do you think?

 

that will buff right out

There are those here that could save her, but to me she looks awful thin, I'm thinking sign.

 

Sure is alot there I could use for my coupe

 

It looks like they used the jaws of life on tha back side and left it in a creek when they finished.

 

its saveable. ive stared with much less

 

a few pieces from brookville and you got yourself a car...

we accept all that could be and some questionable "for sures"


PHEATON TUB PHEATON TUB NOW

glad to see i now have a car thats alittle nicer than some body elses ........ sorry .. but that's what i first thought
there is hope and applying for your gold chain is just the start.....

oh I see you have an ol fishtrap

thanks for making AMERICA BEAUTIFUL ONE 32 REMOVED FROM BEING DUMPED AT ATIME

 

Why is all the good stuff 2,500+ miles away?

 

Hey,

A door skin or two, some work on the Sail Panels, and a little work to align up and straighten the roof opening........................looks like much more fun than a Brookvillain clone or a shower tub enclosure masquerading as an automobile!

Ah, but I usually only find them after some evil putz has cut them to pieces figgerin' he'll cut a fat hog sellin' off the pieces, a pox on him, I say!

Holy Crap!! You must have driven to Michigan or Minnesota to pick up that jewell....surely not picked up on the Montana plains. Also looks like the old girl was in a pretty intense fire at some point.

I have a set of passenger fenders and running boards for that car....and a VERY ROUGH driver's door. (Cheeeep).

PM me for details.

I'd make a tub outta that.

Oh, I wish it was mine!!!!

all that needs is a no fear sticker...HaHa

 

You guys took the letters from beneath my fingers!! I think that's internet slang for took the words out of my mouth...right? Who the hell knows..

 

Just drop in an old flatty, add 3 pedals and drive the shit out of that bitch!!...

 

looks like you could take it to the blaster on a trailer and take it home in the trunk.

 

Sell the body ,Many guys out there could use the parts or restore .Dont scrap it/

 

now that's patina

 

Looks like the firewall is good.

 

A whole shitload of time and some replacement panels..but it's fixable if you're not in a hurry. Looks like you'd probably have to replace about 60% of it with good metal as it looks really thin...but what the hell..it's a duece

 

Acid dipped and race ready

 

Hey Russ....no, I wouldn't have driven very far to get this heap! It came out of the Flathead river...same as my coupe. I don't think you guys realize how rusty this thing is. You can see daylight through every panel!!!!!

 

Hey quit it on mn I got a 40 dodge from good ol mont and theres not much there and the desert can be mean to them also my 54 stude the radio was dripping out of it and I did not know that rubber can turn to cement from thr sun

 

Wouldn't be nothing left after the sandblasting treatment.... Yard art all the way......

 

It'll have less wind drag for Bonneville.

 

Light weight roadster!
Make sure the exhaust runs all the way out the back though.
That thing looks like cheese grater!

 

Go visit some of the "bondo abuse" threads, and take the worst of the stories there not as precautionary tales of what not to do, but your working plan for this body

Actually you can use fiberglass on the back and bondo on the top where it's paper thin, and get something that looks like a body out of parts of this... not something very strong though.

 

I could use the drivers side header corner if your going to 'pus out' on fixing that 'Lingerie tudor'...........yeah I said pus out, I aint working with much better than that

 

Park that sucker on a burm in the front yard with some nice boulders and plants, a little ground cover and the pleasure you will get from the conversations it will generate will last for years.
