Projects 1934 Ford Tudor....my first build

Found this today. Top is rough but it is really pretty solid aorund the lower sections. I think it is salvageable. Hoping to get it next week it is just a couple of mile down the road on a friends place. Do these doors interchange with coupes?

 

Amazing this stuff is still out there, up here it's hard to find in the wild.

 

Pretty crunchy but hell it's a start I wouldn't kick it out my shop

Door top's are different

 

Doors are same width as 3w with a different top

 

A 34 Ford sitting in the grass. Get it before someone else scoops it up!

 

Looks like the kids over the last 50 years have been jumping on the top but than that it looks like a real saver in my opinion. Don't wait too long on that one. Keep the fenders. I like sedans better with them myself. If you decide to build it without the fenders I need the inner fender splash aprons for sure. Let me know.

 

WOW! I have most of the parts that car needs! I have a really nice set of doors, a noce hood, good front fenders and nice running boards, and a good set of rear fenders......Now I just need that car! LOL Soooooooo ya want to make a little money on that car???? Jim

 

Well I spoke too soon on this one. I do not believe that he will sell it. I hope he will change his mind in the future.It has been sitting on the back of his property for 50 plus years.

 

I would like to get some opinons from the HAMB. What do you think a fair price would be for this car?( No title, lots of damage but not rusted out, has stock frame,pedals.
I would appreciate your thoughts. I realize this is a matter of opinion but I need some comparisons. The owner wants to sell but is unsure on value. thanks

 

$603.21

 

If I were standing there myself I would give 1500 for it or so, I have lots of parts to fix that car with so I could do it, however for the average person to buy it and try and build the car there is going to be a fortune spent on patch panels. I may be way off base but thats my opinion. Jim

 

I was hoping to get it for $800 or so.

 

I would say that would be a hell of a buy! Jim

 

I paid $2000 and drove 500 miles 1 way for this body & bare frame, both needing alot of work. What it is worth to 1 person vs another is very subjective or I'm just used to working with stuff that needs a ton of work?

 

Kirk please post a pic of the car now?

 

And see here is the age old delima, Kirk is in Michigan (rusty cars) and Tex is in Texas (solid cars) so what one thinks is a good buy, (Kirk) another person from an area that is more accustomed to solid cars (tex) might not think is such a good buy/car. So I guess what I trying to say is if ya like it and you dont mind paying the asking price buy it! LOL, I think I just waisted everyones time here.........and may have lost some brain cells along the way...Jim

 

Did you get a title with that car?

 

I have to agree that us here in the rust belt pay a premium for good/decent metal. I've been to Cali and their junk is our gold. I suppose that if its a challenge I'm more inclined to take it on. Besides if you can turn a turd into a diamond then everything becomes easier

Here are some current pics

 

Awesome....I love it. Thanks Kirk.

 

Lotta work ahead of you there... tough to say what its worth as is.. Im not a body man but if you cant fix it yourself, its gonna cost you a shit load! Cool find!

 

I Got it in the shop this week and started some body work. I know its not much progress. Lots of work to do but I was happy to find this and save it from rotting. This car has sat out in a field for the last 50 years.

 

Guess I didn't get to the bottom of the page.....glad you got it!

 

Good luck, hope it works out for you. oops missed the part about you having it in the shop. congratulations

 

I was able to buy the car and got a good deal on it. The owner was also happy with the deal

 

Looks like a good start ,love33-34 Fords .

 

Awsome find!I got mine when I went to look a Buddies grampa's model A(lol)!

 

I am making some progress on the Tudor. Lots of hammer/dolly and shrinking....here is before and current pics

 

Nice score! So what are the plans for it ?

Give you a lot of credit, that was one ruffed up carcass.
The driver's side and rear needed serious intervention.
Looks far better now.
