Projects 1930 fordor front... coupester start ?

Not working on it, but just picked up the remains of a 1930 wooden fordor...
a '3o hood, cowl, doors, roof panels, w/s frame, visor, dash, instr. cluster, both murray garnish, B pillars, seat frame, f. fender, splash apron, running board bracket, was a wooden cage car with a steel cowl...
note the B jam is wider than the A jam is... the top edge of the door is arched... odd garnish / door top... armrest edge is a much sharper radius...
.
not going to use the door tops, visor, garnish, roof panels, seat, f. fender, splash, inner door panels, remote inner door latches...

Same guy had a '30-'31 open car w/s frame and 13.5" stanchions... right side is broken wide open...
I have very little time working with stainless … is this fixable and will it stay together if I do ?...
I got new "cups" with it... thanks

 

Yes.

 

How about a roadster pick-up like can't think of his name in FL built.

 

yup...
just welded this baby up, pushed it outside a week ago, looks like they were twins...
.

 

That look like the start of a woody delivery!
Rough out a steel structure out of tubing and cover it in plywood. Could haul all sorts of nifty stuff or sleep in the back.

 

last 3 project bodies started with less... a lot less...
sportster.

.roadster-esque pick up.

. coupester #5.

 

This would be right up your alley!

 

Went tin shopping today...
buddy set up tables in a row in his shop... in one door run the gauntlet and out the big door...
wear a mask and stay 6' behind the shopper in front... better safe than sick.
got a '30 grill, door garnish, '28 car dash, 2 roadster w/s frame top rails, pr. '30-'31 truck headlights w/ 3 bezels/ sealed beam conversions and 2 king pin sets...
he has a ruff T touring body... [free ?]
with the new '30 cowl and doors ... a set of quarters and this would officially become a "pile" ...

 

Grabbed my shopping cart ;
1930 cut down cowl, [4] male hinges...
pair of 1932 rear frame covers...
and a 1932 left qtr. garnish...
.
buddy bought a 1932 truck cowl, cut short frame rails, welded front crossmember, firewall, dash and a cut up K member...
... not a bad day !

 

Your windshield post is a some-what easy repair. I had done many repairs of them in the 1970's when I had an early Ford business. Just use good quality stainless wire and you should do okay.

 

Got one on ebay for $44.. but is missing the inside ribbed, stainless piece...
.
How do I replace it with the one from the broken stanchion ?... removed the side curtain pins and the windwing mounts... nothing left screwing them together... what is the trick ?
.
Repaired 5 places on a roadster w/s frame... well... there is always my lawn art collection...
