I am new on here. I am from Texas and my uncle gave me this 37 ford coupe. I thought I would introduce myself. I know its rough but I think I can work with it.

What all doors will fit this car? Is it 37-40 coupe? Or will some doors from a sedan work?
 
I am going to start working on it when it cools off its just way to hot right now. I have started to look for parts. My uncle backed that baler into the right rear fender and tore it up prety bad. Are 37 coupe rear fenders the only ones that go on it or will others work?
 
Are you sure its a 37? The rear fenders look like 38 to me, as do the front and inner fenders. Might be an early 38 standard coupe, as there doesn't appear to be any holes for the stainless moldings
 
My uncle said he thought it was a 37. Could be a 38 I have not looked for any number on the car. Its been to hot and the snakes have been real bad this year.
 
Nice coupe to start out with with . I've had some that wernt this good. First thing get some axles under it get it off the ground. What happen to the roof on pasenger side. I got a 37 coupe vintage race car that I built with a flat head in it. Still racing it. I Have a 39 race car also. You got a lot of work to do but you can still find parts
 
someone needed a flat peice of metal I guess. We have a old chevy truck that the roof is just about the same conture and I am thinking about cutting it out to use it.
 
First off welcome to the barn. Lot of good advice & help on this site.
Second I would thank unkl for the gift as it looks fine from the drivers side
Third I would buy unkl some new glasses for backing into this jewel.
Keep us posted on your progress & best of luck.
BTW move it away from the bailer.
 
Welcome to Ford Barn!! It's great to see new guys on the board. You have come to the best place to get good info......looks like your project will be great....just needs a bunch of TLC!!....and some parts that you should be able to scrounge off this place.......
 
Not much rot a bunch of bullet holes. Just going to need a bunch of parts. The baler is not going to move. Once something is parked back behind the barns it never moves. There was a 40 ford conv sitting forever. My uncle traded it for a junky welder that only worked for about 2 uses and the motor quit. Its parked back there allso now.
 
I am glad someone else looks at the car the way I do. When my wife saw it she asked if I could take it to the scrap yard with the rest of the junk. I told her she was nuts.
 
I think I have an idea now of what doors will work. 37-40 coupe and the front doors on a 4 door sedan trimed up a bit.
 
I have a 37 and a 38. Doors look the same to me on both.

Can't tell for sure due to the rust in the photo, but the fenders look more like my 38 than the 37. The 37's have more of a "peak" running along the top of the fenders...
 
The hood that is with the car is a 37 hood from all the pics I have seen. I have not looked for any numbers yet.
