    since the bottom half is missing I say build a crazy sectioned 60's show rod out of it like the lil' Coffin
     
  4. Maybe a dirt/stock car too but I'd probably want to fix the body if I had it in my pile. Somebody bought one near me last year that was in FAR worse shape than this one. I think it went to patch a better body ultimately but I can't find the thread.
     
  5. That body can be fixed, with the patch panels that are available and a tape measure it can be done. Yeah its crap load of work and could take forever but its a 32!!! I don't even count floors, since I have yet to have anything older than 64 that I didn't have to put floors in.

  6. I'm not sure what the differences are with the subframes. There seem to be two that are easy to find, 3 window and 5 window. Aren't all the closed car subframes close to the same (assuming the 3 windoe is the oddball)?
     
  7. Yeah I believe your right, the front subframes are the same between a 5 window and a tudor for sure, at least they sure look the same between my 32 tudor and five a five window. 3 windows are the odd ball cause of the door opening. But I have a welder and a grinder so it will fit and work eventually!
     
  8. ^ Right here is a guy that needs it to save his sedan. If you sell it him it will not have died in vain...alone...in the woods.

    All the door hardware's there, nice Deuce dash, main sheet metal looks solid. This body is worth patch panels, (in SPADES if a guy could turn them out himself: Here in Central Calif a 4' X 8' sheet of 19 gauge Aluminum Killed sheet steel is less than $80. Modesto Steel: The owner is a hot rodder.)
     
  12. Two things immediately come to mind...

    I'm not saying it couldn't be fixed. just saying if you wanted to build a crazy 32 show rod, this would be a perfect candidate.... not many people are cutting up good 32's to build something crazy.

  19. I don't have a need or desire for it, but it is living proof that deer shoot back! Looks like they shot up a whole box of shells, wonder who won the gunfight.

    Time to look at hay wagons, utility trailers. and junk piles within 3 miles where it was found. That frame may still be nearby.
