    Beautiful! It would be a crime to paint, or change this!!
     
  10. Looks nice and solid. When you said it needs brake work, it made me think about a guy who sold a car needing brake work and advertized: "Runs great. No stopping it!"
     
  11. Which engine does it have? Ford had 85 HP V8 and 6 cylinder options in '41. They also put 4 cylinder 9N tractor engines in some pickups and panels, don't know if they offered it in sedan deliveries. Guy at White GA has a '41 sedan delivery with 6 cylinder that was sold new in Cartersville GA.

    Cool piece and patina, Would have been nice if it had been used in a different line of business but it is what it is, still cool.

    Ford did offer the 1941 sedan delivery with a 4 cylinder but I have only seen one behind a machine shop in Portland and it had the gas filler on the passenger side/where was my camera??

    Nice start for a nice build. That's not "patina" that's rust from what I see.

    What I call rust (real rust) is pits and holes and the non existence of metal, so yes, thats only patina to me.
    Its a given that it needs to be cleaned up a bit if one wanted to leave a nice patina but never the less.....

    His plan is to leave as is. Do the inside and get all the gauges working.

    Thank God some "billet-happy" gold chainer street rod type didn't get his grubby hands on it first.

    That is quite the score! Got to ask. Is the super rare 41 delivery only waterfall trim still on the hood?
