Projects 1936 Ford 5W…finally rumbling down the road

After much support from many suppliers, friends and especially family , my favourite car is on the road once again. What a blast to be behind the wheel listening to the Columbia 2 speed doing it’s thing.

 

Good job. Enjoy the ride!

 

She's a beauty Clark! Even got the radio! Very not bad

 

Beautiful '36, and other than black it's my other favorite color. Great job and enjoy.

 

Timeless look,very nicely done. Drive the wheels off of it now.

 

its ok for a five window... ... joking..congrats nice car

 

Looks really good.

 

Very cool. Congratulations
Best view is looking over a 36 hood

 

Simply perfect .

only thing that would make it better if it was parked on my driveway

now go put a bunch of miles on it !

 

Nice!!!!! Enjoy

 

"Very not bad" x2

 

Its a beauty.

 

Beautiful and congratulations.

 

***iest pre war Ford body style ever

 

Wershington Blue as the Yankees say. I dig it.


Nice work, -Abone.

 

Great work, Enjoy!

 

Well done!

 

WOW !!! Perfection in blue ..... and still got a FLATHEAD. AWSOME !!!!!!

 

Great job. Lucky man.
I’ve never seen homemade wired radiator hose clamps. Work well?
And what is this gizmo???

 

That’s the two speed adapter for the speedometer. So when the two speed rear end is used the speedometer will still be accurate.

 

"Very not bad" x3.

 

First off thank you all for the positive comments. When you work pretty much alone in the shop its difficult to see the finish line and wonder what the hell....is what I am doing correct? will it look ok? so having fellow hambers' feedback is very much appreciated. I am sure all of us have sat , beer in hand, staring at the car with a finished vision. Then you hake your head and open another beer telling yourself " I will get to that tomorrow".
Cheers!

 

Hahaha...have a 3 window for me??? one of each couldn't hurt!

 

Very nice car, congrats! Hard to beat the look of a '36 Ford. You did a great job.

Very Nice. Great looking hotrod. I love 36 5 windows

 

Beautiful car - well done !!

I'm just finishing up my '36 and I have a question to ask, if you don't mind. My front spring pack is, with the exception of the main leaf being a reversed eye new leaf, is an 11-leaf total, stock spring pack. It's so solid. I get zero movement jumping up & down on the frame and I'm 230#. Could you tell me if you removed any leaves to get your desired ride and, if so, which ones? It would save me a lot of labor and at my age, I just want to get it finished & drive it before I croak !!
Thanks,
-Bob

 

Very very cool.

My front spring is a Posies reverse eye. I also removed a couple leafs and put them at the bottom of the pack cause it’s easy. It took me a few tries to get it right. As to which leads I believe it was #2 and maybe #4. I cannot remember exactly. I could go out to the shop and check if you want.
The rear spring main leaf I had made locally and reversed the eyes. Used the stock pack and removed a few leaves there and placed them on the bottom so the u bolts would fit. I was on a budget so got creative. Let me know if you need me to check anything for you.
