Clearly needs at least another $20k finishing but I think this is cool! http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/1939-Ford-COE-Custom-Delivery-_22361262
Looks like very good fabrication work on it - has a fully boxed frame underneath. Hopefully somebody will finish it.
Yes, I like this one! If it was mine I'd turn it into an RV. As Tedy says it's still gonna cost a lot of money to finish. But what a great project.$10,000 might get it finished doing all the work and not getting real fancy.
I'd cut the rear roof off and make it a pick up After mounting it on the appropriate diesel chassis. That wouldn't cost much would it?
...... doing that to this custom would be equal to cutting the roof off a mint station wagon to make a Ranchero. Now if you were gona cut the roof off a Dodge mini van to make a FWD truck, I'd say go for it!:2_thumbs_up_-_anima
You tell him Tedy. GN300 has been breathing paint fumes. Now a Grand Caravan would make a nice pick up truck with a little work. But you probably couldn't carry more than a few hundred pounds in it. This Ford panel is a perfect toy with a little detailing and a BB Chevy engine. Add a stove, fridge, bed, holding tanks and potty, you'd be all set for a cross country trip. Of course paint it bright red!
OMG Tedy! I was joking. Please don't do that stuff. But somehow it fits in at Wal-Mart! GN300 will be headed to the garage with his Sawz-All soon. Or maybe this is his and he wanted to surprise us.
