1949 Ford Woody Wagon Frame-Off Restoration

Having the opportunity to resurrect this celebrated American icon struck the interests of all of our technicians.

A Ford Woodie restoration with flat head V8 power to be returned to its original color, Sea Foam Green was not unlike some of the restorations we’ve done in the past. This project arrived disassembled with more of the parts in the tow truck than on the car.

On the positive side we received “New Old Stock” wood panels collected by the previous owner and restorer.

With the flat head engine in the machine shop and body work on hold until floor pans could be acquired, we received (and returned) pans from numerous distributors who thought their pan would fit a '49 Woody. Coupe and sedan pans aren't even close, guys!

A very small, and I might add hard to find, distributor delivered just prior to our shop fabricating floor pans to fit. The body has now been acid dipped and electro coated, and the rotisserie body work is in progress.

We are well on our way to completely restoring this vehicle back into a very desirable surfboard hauling beach machine… the first SUV?
