Some shops start projects, but not many finish them. This custom '39 Ford ForDor Sedan Delivery came to us in need of a lot of help!
Nick and his team essentially undid everything that was called 'completed' on this body, redesigned and re-fabricated every detail of this hot rod Delivery.
Starting with the roof, the flat sheets of steel that were crudely tacked in place were stripped away - an 8 foot panel was then wheeled, hand formed and installed. The rear fenders were repaired by forming new sections for PT Cruiser tail lights and front fenders were reconfigured to accept Mini Cooper headlights. To correct the flow of the vehicle's waist line with metal rather than filler(over 3/4") the rear door skins and quarters were cut away and new panels formed and installed. To streamline and smooth out the overall appearance all door hinges were shaved. 1954 Ford truck hinges and Bear Claw latches were mounted within freshly fabricated door posts. The floor was replaced with provisions made for flip down rear passenger seats and an access hatch for the battery and air ride system. Hand crafted trim pieces were created and installed throughout the vehicle. The dash was extended 4 inches to incorporate a DVD/Navigation system that would appear as though it was a factory Television option in the '40s. Finally, a tailored front bumper was created by hand forming, welding and metal finishing 1/8" plate.
Nick's goal was to have this ForDor Sedan Delivery appear as a late 30's concept created by Ford.
