My '34 ford sedan delivery project. juncky stuff...or not?

I'm glad to show my '34 ford sedan delivery project

here is as look when I bought it in arhentina, looks very rough and rusty but I love it.





Home sweet home.



It's moving!





Remember? this is your door...



rust off



fixing the failed job done from the old owner



where is he floor?







an early engine for an early style hot rod

 

wow that looks like one hell of a cool project!@

 

lot of work, but not too bad, good score... just out of curiosity, what is that green thing on the trailer back there?

 

so.... what are you using to take the rust off like that ?

 

looks like a great project! Can you tell us the story of how you got this sedan delivery from Argentina? I understand there is a lot of old tin still there, but that it is very difficult to get it out of the country. How did you manage to do that?

 

It take vision and love to complete a build like that .And it appears you are off to a great start .My last 2 cents

 

Cool project...

 

Thank you all, a brief history of me and my future hot rod

Is February 2006, I hope to find a cheap project, not as rusty and with a good frame and I’ve not as so mutch bucks in my pockets. I can’t go in the U.S. for find one, have to work so mutch so I look in the web for find one. I look for ’32 ’33 ’34 fords but are all too expensive for me, I have to buy the car, ship it in Italy pay for taxes and parts.. searching and searching after two monts I remain folgorated from delivery sedans and I NEED one. Delivery are rare to find as cheap projects in the web but one month later I find one from google images :O hoping isn’t sold I contact the dealer, two days after he reply to me and is still for sale! The dream comes true, I organize the shipping and two months after I go to Genoas harbor to pick up it. The car is a piece of ****, rusty, smell like ******** and risk the break in the front of body but nobody can take off my smile. Actually I’ve separated the body from the frame and I cut “x” crossmember, pics come soon

Very Cool project Coke-Bottle, look forward to the updates.

Yeah, one lucky rodder to score a 33/34 sedan delivery.
I have also bought cars from Argentina and Mexico recently.
Getting cars from Argentina requires a lot of logistics and patience with the system down there.
However there are some fanatstic cars to be had, but my personal ...
2 cents worth.... is go there in person, buy the car in person, load it and then only then return back home after you actually see the thing on the ship, as there are too many variables that will stress you to the hilt at the end of the day.
But what a score. Congrats.... Coke-bottle.

 

wish i never sold mine.whats on the roof?welded in roof insert?cant see from the pics.need any info i might be able to help.searched high and low for the rear apron,its available through drakes in gl***,rear light stantions i built myself.good find.

 

nice nice, my dad owns an 1934 ford delivery in real good untouched condition metalwise, almost no rust at all, will have an 1946 mercury engine and 1939 ****** though... cool to see an nice hotrod like that being built in italy!, (send me an fiat topolino early one )

 

What is the law like in Italy? Can you get something like this registered with a Hemi?

 

Very Cool! and a great project..........Did you buy it in Italy? And I look forward to the updates.

Very cool find, Is there alot of rodders in Italy? My wife was just talking last night while eating italian food about takeing the boys there. She has been there before but not me.Awesome find, no matter how ruff its still a 34 ford delivery, very rare

 

there is nothing in the roof, the time or somebody take it. Sorry for your deal your delivery looks good, but too hight for me

 

Rocket,

your father delivery sounds very traditional or resto want to see pictures. My look nostalgic when done

 

james d,

I'm not scared from law, I know people in Italy who have hot rods and rat rods with engine swapped and fenderless who can drive without problems. the only thing who you must do? PAY!

 

sodbuster,

i place the story up here in my thread

abone,

no there are not so mutch hot rodders here in Italy, but there are so mutch hot rod owner, who buy hot rods.

Thank you for the support guys!

Luca

 

looks like one hell of a cool project! Keep us updated with pictures!

 

Luca, what a really cool project. I've always liked the 34 sedan deliveries and it looks you've already completed the hardest part of your project and that was getting the car delivered. It appears you have the patience and skills to finish your goals. Keep the pics of the build coming as you progress.

 

Great to see the progress and hear the reports from a hotrodder over seas, keep it up!

 

Definitely keep us posted on the progress on this one. I'm continually amazed at what you rodders in foreign countries (foreign to us here in the spoiled US) are able to build when you have to rely on so much that has to be imported.
Your delivery would be a rare find here. I can't imagine you ever coming across another one in Italy.

Luca, great looking project... after everything that is involed with getting a car over there it is cool to hear how excited you are... and some people over here in the U.S. ***** that they can't find a good car.... Keep us posted on the progress....

 

Great project Luca, your work so far is is impressive! I guessing that the green machine on the trailer in your first post is a compressor?

 

And I thought my '34 Delivery was rough. Will be following your progress.

 

Luca, Welcome to the HAMB, thank you for the photos and story about your Sedan Delivery. I had an original gas tank for one that went off to Australia a few months ago. The gas filler is located differently than the tanks on other body styles. I often wonder if there are parts/car container arangements on the East Coast for shipment to Europe like they have setup for Australia to save on shipping costs. Whenever I see a project being built overseas I just wonder how much gets spent on shipping parts. Good luck, please keep sending updates. Bob
