Very cool. I know it's not your thing, but I hope you leave the patina as found. That would be one cool looking car while retaining its commercial past history.

No you just love oldFords, my first choice when I wanted a pre-war Ford was a 1936 rumble seat coupe like my Dads first car. The reality of restored cars was I couldn’t afford them and I’m too old to start a project. I looked a 1937,38,39 and 40 Fords but all of them out of reach. I settled on a nice ‘41 coupe that I could afford and didn’t need any work. Can’t wait to see pictures when your done.

Tim, I have not ruled out simply making this super road worthy / reliable and leaving the appearance as it is.
There was a time, one time, that I did just that.
Can I do that twice? Hmm...
