Projects This one has been sitting for a while

Could be a interesting extraction should I decide to mess with it.

 

With the trunk in the front, maybe rear engine?

 

Sure would make a tale, to tell, about a miracle.

 

It's a woody. Better leaf it alone. You would get board working on the engine. And don't try to get to the root of the problem.

 

That’s a 28-29 Model A fordor. They did have a lot of wood in them.

 

I’d drive it

 

I'd at least get that cowl, that's a good looking piece and doesn't seem to be too trapped in by the tree.

 

. . . and there might be a good gas tank underneath there.

 

Sitting outside for extended time with the gas cap missing? Odds are not good.

(But I would still grab it.)

I get the 28/29 but how can you tell it's a fordor? HRP

 

tree in one....

 

Ford poplar.

 

The 28-29 Fordor has the smooth side panels on the cowl, longer than and other Model A and the filler piece in the firewall. The stock 28-29 gas tank is under there.

 

One of the fordor bodies had a neat emblem on the lower cowel.

 

The firewall

 

A 28-29 Fordor cowl with the gas tank removed. This one was made by Murray and had the cowl band, Cowl bands for 28-29 Fords are rare and spendy.

 

Yes! The guy with the top hat, I'll find the one I have and post a photo.

 

Most folks don't know the gas tank deal

 

. . . and some had a cowl vent (like my 28 Mercury).

 

You nailed it.

 

Here's a 28 Mercury Torpedo Salon (6-Cyl. Deluxe 2-Door Sedan) with Mustang II suspension (seats).

 

Usually I get screwed.

 

Just sent this one up the road to Iowa.

 

The wood does not look rotten.

 

May be , but I’m gassing it would only hold wood gas.

 

Is that an Oakland engine?

 

I see, I see said the blind man. HRP

 

Learned something. Day not wasted.
