Double Trouble - Sloper

[oz40]

Trouble always comes in pairs
So here's the story....on 'Double Trouble'.

HURRAH !!!! at long last, things have come together that my friend, Wayne and I have finally managed our schedules that we have been able to get a decent start on our 1939 and 1940 Ford Sloper projects.

With living overseas, working, both building houses and raising family, we both agreed,..to bite the bullet, and said we better get started, stop procrastinating any longer as we would surely die around our projects and never realise our dreams in driving and enjoying our Aussie 1939 and 1940 Ford Slopers.

Wayne and I have had our Slopers for a while now.
Unfortunately both the cars had somewhat hard lives until we got them and both the old girls sat around waiting for our belated attention. Though we didn't totally ignore them we did however continue to get parts, purchase new panels and manage to put together bucks for the rear lower areas.

Anyway, as you can seen by the early pictures they seem quite reasonable but once you get down to identifying the problem areas both the cars had near the same rust and damage issues.

Seeing that we had the same issues we agreed to jump into the projects and do them both at once, at the same location,, this way saving on time, energy, and speeding up the projects without double handling etc.
Our area is a little squeezed but the 39 and 40 are only a couple of feet apart and we easily jump from one to the other either doing the repairs or for on-going reference.

Follow along with Wayne and I during our build(s) and hope you like our Sloper resurrections.
