body parts for Ford 1900

[bryanhawaii]

Newby here and I just bought a Ford 1900 and altho it seems to be running good [knock on wood] the hood, radiator cover/grill, and the rear fenders are almost beyond repair and a google search of these parts yielded nothing affordable or trustworthy. Any tips from you guys before I attempt the [near] impossible and messy job of spanning up to 1/2 + inch rust holes with bondo??
BTW, my 1900 and I live in Hawaii, so big shipping $$
Is anyone out there making these parts out of fiberglass or that plastic they make almost all new bumpers out of? Would be cheaper to build, ship and won't rust!
Maybe a good niche market product?
Thanks in advance for any info or suggestions.
Aloha, Bryan

Welcome to TBN, I owned a 1900 Ford for 18 years, that was 14 years ago. I needed rear fenders as well and found some off an early Ford and made them work. Found some parts in Tractor salvage yards. Don’t know how many of those there are in Hawaii but worth a look. Good Luck. That little 1900 was a good tractor.

Can anyone tell me what other Ford tractor models I can search for that have body parts that are compatible with the 1900 ?

Hey thanks for the lead bg, I'll contact them and see what the shipping would be to Hawaii. Are these used parts houses willing to bargain the price down, or are they mostly firm?

Maybe double the $285 to include shipping to Hawaii ????
