    I recently was told of this 30' Sedan body and possible frame. I went and looked at it today and its very rough(It looks like a tree fell on it). I can probably pick it up cheap, very cheap. I believe the body is gone, but was wondering if I should try and snag any parts. There is a dash, along with some other misc things. Is there anything anyone needs or is looking for? Is the body even worth hauling away? I have more pics if needed. On the frames-they were not for sale, There was three, all stock with crossmembers, and brackets were there, but he didnt want to part with them.

    In the pics, it looks like the door tops are the worst part. You could either replace the doors, or get a pair of tops off of some doors that are wasted at the bottom. Buy it, build it, drive the shit out of it.

    I dug my 30 Model A Fordor out of a dried up creek bed (along with a few other cars.) That Tudor is definitely worth saving (or selling to people like me!) I'd say buy the car, heck, I'd buy it! :cool:

    Use your skills to save that baby. If you don't have the skills now, you will by the time you get done.
