    I’m looking at a 30 Model A Sedan

    1) What is the best way to remove all the interior surface rust getting in all the nooks and crannies? Will I be able to paint up inside the doors panels?

    2) Is $2500 a reasonable price pay for a shipped and clear titled body. It needs all lower patch panels and visor. All garnish, regulators and door hardware is there.

    I thought I’d ask the experts. Thanks H.A.M.B!!

    Most of the time they wont blast the inside of the door panels,,theres a
    texture that Ford used and its there for structure..it will warp the door if they do.

    Not a bad price... I paid 2K for mine and it has all the window garnishing and needs all new lower patch panels... I say jump on it...
     
  5. got any pic's? that will help in your quest.
     
  6. Makes me wonder if $2500 is reasonable for a rustier A tudor on a rolling chassis, with motor, radiator, and some cruddy front fenders. Needs the same patch panels, and to be blown apart and put back together.

    2500 buck for a model a tudor is way high where im at. They are worth about 500-1000 tops.
     
  9. I've never seen one for sale for $1000, unless it was a running doodlebug conversion of some sort and priced on the high side.

    $2500 for a complete A is nice but selling all the crap i don't need is a hassle. plus it didn't mention a title. i perfer a titled car so i don't get the run around by the DMV.

    thanks for the comments. BTTT for one more round.
