1931 Ford Slant Window

1931 Ford Slant Window

I have always wanted to own a tub job. Not sure what a tub job is? It is when you take a early model sedan and removing the top making it basically a roadster with a back seat. It also then resembles a bath tub or a plain old tub. Back in 2006 I owned a sedan worthy of making into a tub, it was a 1928 Ford Model A Tudor which was too nice of an example to cut the top off. So I sold it and kept searching for a Model A sedan that had roof damage and or no roof at all. This to me would be the perfect candidate. Fast forward to July of 2009, while doing my daily search on craigslist for all things Model A I came across and ad that had a Model A sedan for sale or trade! I called the seller and offered up a trade he couldn’t refuse. The sedan was located in Bremerton Washington which isn’t too far from where my cousin Junkyard lives. I called him up and invited myself over and asked if he wanted to go pick up some vintage iron, he gleefully answered yes. One week later I’m the proud owner of this crusty body that has seen better days. Not sure where to even begin. The roof is torn up, the passenger side sub-frame is cut, and there is a good amount of rust to deal with. Perfect!!!!

No immediate plans. Need to get the front cowl bolted down to something sturdy and straight. Then align the rest of the body and build supports etc. We are a ways away from even starting this, but it is fun none the less.
