But in all seriousness we need to see pictures. Fordors are a difficult body style to restore, due to all of the wood used in constructing it. With this considered, fordors will have a lower demand, thus lower value when it's a basket case.
I disagree.... although it use to be that 4-doors meant a lesser value overall and in Model A's... as the interested group and core is aging and has grandkids I find and values support it that the folks who use to pay a lot for roadsters and now want and need the closed car and extra doors the "Fordors" and " Town Sedans" particularly the '31 slant windows for a nice car command a premium. It is true the earlier wood bodies cars can have some structural and door closing issues. One of my forte's is door/hood alignment, so I am well familiar.

The downside to project is the wood, interior costs ( considerably more) and complexity of all of that.

Attend a national meet or Mafca or Marc national tour and you will be amazed how many you will see. Just my 2-cents worth.
FYI, there are two nice Fordors and slant window in my area for sale. PM me if interested.
Thx.
