Low dollar fordor on MAFCA site
 

Descent looking blindback in Cali, price reduction from 6k down to 4.5k. Looks like it could be a good buy, if the wood is in ok shape. Listed in the cars for sale on the mafca site. Sorry no link....

how much wood is in this style of model A?

Re: Low dollar fordor on MAFCA site
 

I sure'd like to have that trunk...

Is it a 30-31 body on a 28 chassis? Fender look like 28 to me but the body does not. Maybe thats why so cheap?

Re: Low dollar fordor on MAFCA site
 

It is not a 30-31 body. The cowl on the 28-29 Fordors, Town Sedans, Cabriolets and Town Cars looked similar to the 30-31 cowls.

Thanks Bob I learn something new every day:) Those are models of the A I have NO knowledge about. I just didn't look right to me

A Lot! I'm replacing the wood in my Town Sedan and I can tell you it's the "woodiest" model. In dollar terms, the complete new wood would run you over $4000. However, the bright side is that Very few cars need a complete replacement. And if you have any abilities at all, you can reverse engineer a lot of it. Water is what makes the wood go. Usually there is a lot of rust to go with bad wood. Judging by the exterior and the location (California) I would guess that the wood's not too bad.

And the doors too right?

Re: Low dollar fordor on MAFCA site
 

That's still less that the amount of wood in the fabric covered fordors sold in Australia.

Dave: Don't forget all 4 doors which are ALL wood and then "skinned".
