    Wow- that's too much for me or anybody I know, but I gotta admire the dedication of whoever does it. That '37 Zepher build thread was quite the project also.

    Definatly doable. Being a 32 coupe might even be worthwhile.

    I restored a Karmann Ghia VW that was so rotten I used 2 full sheets of body metal making patch panels including door skins that went right up to the door handles.

    I also did a 59 MG where one half the body was in one end of the shop, the other half in the other end, and the frame in the middle when I started. Again, no parts bought all made by hand.

    Also a 65 Mustang where the only parts not replaced or repaired were the driveshaft tunnel and part of the roof.

    Today I wouldn't waste my time fixing a junky car if I could get a better one. But if you want a 32 Ford coupe and you don't have all the dough in the world, you have to take what you can get.

    That's a good challenge but it is a doable one. You gotta start on one corner and work your way all around. don't skip around and you will actually see some positive progress. I start with that stuff because it's affordable and it's yours when it's done. You gotta stay after it and it'll come around pretty fast. About 30 minutes with a Porta Power and it'll begin to look alot better.

    Well, looks like the upper hinge is in good shape. You got that much going for you!
