This is a great car to restore. The sheet metal is great -but it has been sand blasted in the past and not primed. As a result, it is covered with surface rust.
Some comments:
---Title - a clear Minnesota title.
---Front fenders - great - no weld, no breaks, no rust thru, and I found no dents.
---Rear fenders - very nice, no weld, no breaks, I found no dents, but there is some rust holes ins the area where the fender attaches to the body, right above the running board splash aprons. I believe these can be easily covered and
hidden.
---Hood - also very nice - no weld, no breaks, no dents, all surfaces look straight.
---Doors - nice - no dents, no holes in the bottoms -- applies to both doors.
---Cowl - very nice, no rust out, no weld, , solid - two holes drilled cleanly thru on both sides. Looks like there may have been an aerial attached at one time.
---Running Board splash aprons. - again, very nice - no weld, no rust out, I found no dents.
---Windshield frame - solid, no weld, no bends, no rust out on the bottom,
---Gas tank - nice - solid, no rust out, no dents that I could see, no weld.
---Body - some rust out on the lower part of the rear panel, near where the spare tire hanger sits - it is largely hidden by this bracket.
Otherwise, both side panels, the back panel, the two roof panels appear dent free, no weld, no holes
---Body parts behind rear wheels - there are frequently rust outs in these areas. On this car, I found none.
---Radiator cover - would be okay for a driver, but not for a show car, as there is significant rust. Recommend a replacement.
---Splash apron under radiator - pained, looks okay, no rust out or weld.
---Firewall - significant hole - could be where someone had a manifold heater. Needs a piece of metal welded, or bolted, in.
---Running boards -solid - will need new rubber covering, and new edge strips.
---Glass - all glass is present and looks ok. The windshield is some imperfections, and should be replaced for safety reasons alone as original Model A glass is very dangerous.
On all the other glass, I personally replaced all of it on the Tudor I restored because of safety reasons, but you make your own decision.
---Interior trim - looks like most, if not all, of the window trim is present. Only a couple of door and window handles present for the outside of the car.
---Dash rail - present, surface rust, but no extra holes. - very use able.
---Speedometer, amp meter, ignition cable, key - not present.
----Windshield wiper - vacuum wiper is present.
---Wood - is surprisingly solid - some/most of it may be useable, but the roof bows, one is warped.
----Seats - two front seats, and one rear seat is included. - The wood frames may be useable.
----Radiator - looks good, may be an original ( I'm not sure) but no serious gouges on it.
--- Motor - is stuck
---Generator, starter, carb, distributor, tranny, rear end, all are present, but need rebuilding.
---Horn - no horn present
---Tires - shot, all need replacing.
---Chassis - complete but rusted, needs sandblasting.
----Shocks - 4 shock bodies (stuck) and a couple of arms.
---Headlights - nice lenses, but the buckets may, or may not, be useable. I've seen worse, and I've seen better.
---Tail light - should be replaced
---Rear bumper bracket is broken, but there is a replacement bracket that goes with the car.
This would be an excellent car to restore. The chassis and motor should be all gone thru but the sheet metal is unbelieveably nice, for original items.
Typically, you would have to replace all 4 fenders and the hood, at a cost of $1500 +, but here there is no reed to replace them ( in my opinion)
Use the buy-it-now, or bid high, and get a good restoration project.

Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford F-150 Raptor join Lego Speed Champs
Tue, Oct 20 2015Get ready to park some performance machines on your desk: Lego's 2016 line of Speed Champions kits will add seven new vehicles for next year, according to an update to the database Brickset. These include some serious muscle like a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Ford Mustang GT. There's also a listing called "Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race" and a very cool combo titled "Ford F-150 Raptor Ford/Model A Hot Rod". Fans of European performance don't need to be jealous, though. The database shows a kit called "Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane." Plus for fans of the Four Rings, the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and R8 LMS Ultra are also getting their own Lego models. Fourtitude appears to have some leaked shots, if you want to see what these kits will look like. Lego has partnered with Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari and offers Speed Champions kits for vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and LaFerrari. The models in the series aren't as heavily detailed as the massive Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Bus sets, but they make up for that in value. The individual cars retail for a fairly affordable $14.99. The Formula One playset tops the current range at $99.99, but it comes with a truck, racecar and team figures.
Ford builds one-off 50th anniversary Mustang Convertible for charity
Thu, 08 May 2014At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.
Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India
Wed, Dec 2 2015Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.
