    Found this at Hershey, the remains of a 1930 Ford Tudor that ended its life as a dune buggy on Cape Cod. I'll need the top header and door tops along with both top hinges.

    Job one was getting it off the front lawn. Always good to work with Dad's old tools, had to drill out three hinge pins. Bought a new 12 inch long bit, and a straight pinch. All the pins are out, bit broke and the punch is bent. Both doors are in the basement.

    Hey, it's a ''roller'' with the hand truck under it. Always fun to watch projects that begin with pieces.
    Awesome drill by the way!

    This isn't a 30 or a Tudor...but you get the drift....and it's just a couple hundred miles down the road to Wildwood. Goin back to the sand would be full circle for the old girl......

    If I built a Pick Up Cab I could use the Tudor doors to make a short cab corner and use the flat 28-29 PU rear panel. Closed Cab or Roadster Pick Up? There are no sub rails, I've never fooled around with a channeled body. I can't draw, but it is looking good inside my head.

    30-31 Tudor and pickup doors are the same, coupe doors are shorter.

    If you feel really inclined, and can find some tri five sedan doors that are rough in the bottom, you can use the tops and wing windows, to add wings glass to the model A door.
