I am thinking I will probably make the lower firewall and front floor pieces. I don't like the looks of the ones I've seen for $450.00 plus shipping. I did find a smooth upper fire wall panel that looks good and is reasonably priced.
The closer I look at this body I'm finding a lot of thick Bondo on the cowl side panels. Those panels are $65.00 each and real easy to replace. Most of the floor is in acceptable condition and there is some rust under the bottom door hinges. The body mount bushings are original so I'll have to replace them while I have the body off.
I got a question that is way off topic, I mean way off topic. I am also building a custom '34 Ford Sedan Tudor and I need a passenger door really bad. So if anyone has one or knows where one is let me know. The ones I've found on the net are way too expensive and even the replacement skin is through the roof. It's funny that I can buy a door skin for a '48-'54 Chevy pu fot $60.00 but one for that old ford is $600.00.
Anyway thanks.
