Back in Feb of 2008 I found the back half of a 32 Sedan Delivery. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2561438#post2561438 By July some one made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Those parts were then put on the back of a restored Tudor Sedan. Sorry no pix. The reason I started on this project was I was trying to make a trade and the guy wanted a chopped 32 sedan. I had a Tudor body that had been resting on it's top. I was able to find a nice top, so I desided to fix it. First, replace top at stock height then chop it , 3" in bach and 3 3/4 in front. Couldn't work the trade, so I had this fiberglass sedan delivery door. Well lets put that in and I won't have to fix the bullet holes in the back panel. I cut the opening and built steel door jams using my shrinker and stretcher. Then I had to chop the fiberglass door 3". The window in the door seemed to small, I didn't care for the look. A freind comes in about this time and sugests making a steel door. OK thats easy. Lets go. Here is where I'm at presently.
Oh, This is my first chopp. I have put in floors patch panels etc. I'm just going along at the best of my ability.
Plans are for a SBC and 350 turbo. split bones in front , ladder bar rear with a transverse 40 spring Fenders??????? We don't need no stinkin fenders Cornhusker Frame I got in trade for some 40 PU parts. Artillary Wheels 32 caps
Yes, Gary it looks super good. I love the hiboy sedan delivery concept. Lobeck built a nice one that is out here now. Keep the pictures coming.
Looks great, only butchered one myself '37 Olds 8 cyl. coupe. Lots of fun, lots of work, the good news is the guy I sold it to had a good friend who fixed the stuff I screwed up. LOL
That replacement roof looks great, what happened to the rest of the body? Inquiring minds want to know. I never get tired watching '32 Ford bodies being saved, nice work.
That's a great project. I love sedan deliveries. Keep the updates coming. My '32 sedan body is pieced together from two bodies mated at the belt line.
