49 2 door stepdown 4 sale
I hate to do it but it looks as though I need money more than projects right now.
I have a 1949 stepdown 2 door that I bought from an estate sale - it hadn't run in years and I'm more a street rod guy anyway so it didn't matter to me. Pulled the engine and tranny and sold to a Hudson purist then started to plot my strategy. The body was in great shape at first look however upon teardown I found it had probably been in an accident in the left front area sometime in it's past. It had been repaired, but not well. Gaps were left allowing moisture to get in the floor panel near the dimmer switch area and below the left side rocker panel. That has been repaired again and done very well this time. The remaining work on the body as best I can remember (the car is in Orlando in dry storage and I haven't seen it in 3 years) would include the floor pan area at the front passengers feet. The rest is very solid, the trunk pan is solid and the only other thing I can remember as a RUST problem area might be the defrost area below the windshield on drivers side wa not a big concern to me but I sometimes am not the brightest candle on the cake sometimes. Actually my main concern was that someone sometime had stood on the roof and coffe canned it a bit in the center area, but this is REAL metal so I am sure it could be worked, shrunk, and regain it's memory.
I stripped the old paint and replaced with good primer, obtained an aftermarket outside visor, pulled the seats but kept safe if I choose to recover, got ready to put a GM front clip in and then came the '48 Liconln Continental Coupe that distracted my attention then relocation to Texas and now N.C. I could post some pictures but need insturction on how to avoid the size limitation I keep running into. I can email to you if you are intersted. The pics I have are mainly before and after paint strip and primer, I don't seem to have any of the interior but the dash is complete and I 'think' I even have an extra glove box cover with latch for the drivers side. I believe all glass is good, the winshield and rear window are wrapped and stored inside the car along with the rest of the parts. The rear windows roll up and down with one or two finger effort. The passenger side door window I think is broken and the other door window may be suffering from speration in the lamination - can't remember. The car is in Orlando area and is in the care of a friend of mine - it can be viewed if you or someone you know and trust would like to.
I am announcing this here to see if there is any interest and if not will head to my Ebay acoount :-/
I bought the car for $1800, the visor, the repair work yada yada yada and am looking to get at least $2500 for it. This is a sad deal as I was looking forward to getting back to this project but my '54 Chevy p/u is requiring some TLC again 10 years after I streetrodded it and money is rather tight right now - you might have seen that info in the papers or on the news.
