    Hi all, hoping to get some advice on a 46 Ford Deluxe I purchased at auction. Appears to have had a heavy object crunch the rear end, wondering if it's worth fixing or swap parts over to a shell sitting somewhere in a field? Also if you have a body sitting in a field somewhere let me know. Or if you've ever repaired something like this let me know ow how you'd go about doing it. Best wishes, prayers, advice much appreciated.

    I usually find they start out as a fun project and slowly turn into a nightmare much like some of the women I used to date... but ahhh that's another story...

    You didn’t list your location in your profile, maybe someone local to you has body parts but we don’t know where you are….

  6. Car was probably inexpensive enough that you can play and make mistakes on it while you get it back in to shape, and hone your skills.
    You'll be surprised what bottle jacks, wooden posts and some hammer work will accomplish.
