'49 Ford Woody - need advice
Posted by drecch@reddit | projectcar | View on Reddit | 4 comments
Looking for guidance/advice (feel free to punt me to another sub too).
Just found out my late dad's '49 Ford Woody wagon is 1) still where he left it (20 yrs ago) and 2) needs to be moved. Where do I even begin? I could rent a flat-bed and load it all up and take to storage. Is there a better alternative?

Regardless of whether you want to keep it or not, just figure out short term storage and go pick it up.

Kind of depends on what you plan to do with it. Are you planning on rebuilding it? Selling it? Undecided?
If rebuilding, then absolutely flatbed it somewhere safe ASAP that you can work on it. Begin cataloging parts and see what you have vs what you need.
If selling, take pictures of every piece as you flatbed it somewhere safe and cheap. List on marketplace.
Undecided - flatbed it somewhere cheap while you make a decision. Try not to damage anything. Or ask a friend/family member if they have room and will store it.

Thanks for the speedy reply. Going to try to get it into the hands of someone that can do something with it (sell it). My time is consumed with work and then there's a skill set issue - haven't worked on cars in years. Thanks for the tip on taking pics/storage/marketplace.
