40 Ford Woody-coming to a forum near you

[Eric Macleod]

Thanks to Landman and the miracle of eBay, I now have the key elements of a '40 Ford woody. I will be finishing up the Duesenberg TROG project first but this one will be next in line. I look forward to seeing what I can make out of this combination.

Eric, you might have that '40 Station Wagon dusted for fingerprints!  I was the person who produced that resin kit,  cast approximately 700 of those in resin 1995-2000.  The transkit was mastered by the Late Miles Lee Baker, of Chattanooga TN.  Do you have the seats, and the interior door hardware--also the spare tire and the special station wagon rear bumper (plated)?  Those parts were also part of the kit.

I am aware that this came from your shop. I had a feeling Lee was the builder of the master. Mine is indeed a complete kit with the seats and associated goodies. I haven't decided on a color scheme yet but am leaning toward Ford Maroon. Thanks for the comment!

When you are ready to do the wood, we can get together online, and I can coach you through the process I used on the '49 Mercury station wagon I took up to the Gilmore there, a couple of years ago.

Also, 1940 saw the introduction of color-matching roof coverings on Ford station wagons, meaning that a Ford Maroon car could be had with a maroon roof treatment (the Pyroxylin impregnated canvas top)
