Projects I just bought a '32 sedan

Just found a '32 sedan that had been sitting in a North Dakota barnyard for the past 20 or so years. It has a tree growing up through it. The owner has cancer and wanted to sell. The body seems to be good with no rust through, but the front fenders are dented and torn. The two rears seem to be OK. There is no radiator shell or radiator, but the flathead is there, what shape I don't know, but most likely seized. No interior but it looks like it was converted to juice brakes. It has disk rims.

Sounds cool...leave the tree in there and drive it all over the place.

 

Sounds cool, show us some photos.

 

You've been here long enough to know if there are no pics then it didn't happen...

 

Yep, we need to see it.

 

How big is the tree? We need a visual here. Are you positive it's a '32?

You can't leave us hanging, pictures please.

 

don't worry about fenders a nice wedge chop high boy sedan is hard to beat.

 

3w Larry should show up any time. He is usually the one with little patience when no pictures are posted.

LOL!

 

Pine, spruce, oak??? Don't leave us hanging!!!!

 

Larry didn't ask what size the tires are!

 

how can you tell if the tree is a '32?

 

I was patiently waiting for the pics first.

 

I don't know about Larry but my patience is wearing thin,,,we need photographic proof!

I'll just play Devils advocate and stir the pot a little. HRP

 

Same as the rest of the guys.....Lets see some photos

 

I know, I know, everyone's looking for pics. I'll try to get some today. It's a pretty big tree so I'll have to be careful getting it out (no, I can't keep it to drive around with...). I'm psyched because the body looks good, fenders maybe no, and it has a flathead in it which may be the original, but we'll see. I can see that the intake manifold is broken (it's aluminum). but I don't know much about flatheads, so can't tell the year. He also threw in a 59A-B with transmission. Hopefully one will be rebuildable. Now I've got to: (1) get pics, (2) get the tree out, and (3) get it to phoenix. Ultimate goal: Brookville roadster body on the '32 frame with a later flathead. Hopefully this will all pan out.

..................................Count the rings!

 

Did I miss something here? You are getting a 32 Sedan from North Dakota, once a tree is removed from the interior, load it up and ship it to Phoenix,, throw away the body and then put a Broodville roadster on the frame, with a different flathead.

 

Yeah, I also have a original 32 out of Michigan with an old Ford growing in it. But seriously let me know when you go to throw the Sedan body in the garbage for a shiny new Brookville. I still need a junky old Henry body for my next 40s project "hubba hubba", Wyatt.


"Listen Mr... It ain't broke if I can't fix it"

 

No, I noticed it first, I get to dumpter dive first!

 

WTF?

 

I would be interested in trading you for a nice rolling ch***is with a flathead. That would save you a lot of work and get you on the road quicker in your BV coupe.

 

And please stop taking all the cars outa north Dakota. Us locals would like a chance on them

 

Who says 32's don't grow on trees. I'd rather have a sedan than a roadster myself. With all the wood you sure it's not a Chevy?

 

I might be interested in the tree...

 

I have a model A with a tree! HRP

 

HOTRODPRIMER, I can see where it was welded back together after it was put around the tree....FRAUDE, FRAUDE, FRAUDE........but a heck of a great idea........I like it!

 

You may want to keep the tree for raw material to fabricate some of the wooden structural parts. How is the woodgraining holding up?
