As you can see, the car is resting on Jack Stands. This will allow me to work from the lower portions on up. Fenders, Running Boards, Aprons, Doors, Radiator, and Hood in that order. Then the Main body and Engine. This car was never molested and is so original. Too bad the prior owner let it lay out under an old Oak tree which led to it's terrible condition. The wood is shot as are most of the sheet metal pieces. I'm happily collecting all sorts of, "How it was" stuff and all those hard to find little items. Al W.

From the picture it looks like your parts car is a good candidate for restoration. What am I missing?

Hi Frank, I already have one 31 Four Door that is a restored driver car. It was heading for Hot Rod Heaven until I saved it. This one would leave me in the Poor House. As you probably know, these cars will leave you upside down in a hurry. Al W.
