"3738" - Did you have a "paintless dent repair" guy straighten out the front drivers fender? Your car looks great.

I concur, my adjective is precious! I felt young again looking at that sedan's insides.

And 47 coe, I applaud you for keeping your cabover cab on a cabover chassis! And using it for what it was intended for no less! Beautiful job.

Tubman,

I took a hammer and dolly and worked the fender dent out some. It is still dented, just not as extreme.

Before/after of interior and 60 hp engine

Here is my 32 roadster project. I bought the roadster as a very rough channeled car around 1969. I did all the metal work building and rebuilding body to frame brackets including a floor-subframe from a 32 Tudor that I bought from Montana. I fabricated the outer sills and filled multiple extra holes in my frame. Luckily a had two excellent original cars, owned by others, to use for reference.

How do you guys get water stains out of original upholstery like door panels?

Tony, I remember your FB posts when you first got this car. I'm glad you kept it original, looks great. Hoping I get to see this one in June at the Dearborn GNM.

Very nice cars and COE, guys! Hats Off for your DIY skills.
(It always amazes me at the loads the old trucks were subjected to; stopping distances had to be great!).
