Default Re: Wrecked Car fixed by my Father's Uncle

Most of the wood body on the truck of first posting is custom built. The hood looks to be from a 26 or 27 model T car. The headlamps are Model T or TT. The Chassis is definitely Model TT truck but I don't know them well enough to tell the exact year. This truck was likely built up by the owner or employees as a shop truck for his business. Wrecked or damaged stuff was cheap and body shops always end up with left over parts.

To repair the damaged body shell and doors would have been the worst choice .

Much easier to just get a used shell assy or buy a parts car and replace it .

That is still the way framed vehicles [ PU's ] that have wrecked shells get fixed .
