Hot Rods The Blizzard Coupe 1936 Ford 5 Window

You screwed up dude.....should have stopped and got groceries then you could have got snowed in at the shop and played with it all night and had it running and cleaned the whitewalls and and and............ If its an F-1 box it will be drag link steering. Wasn't the 36 a cross steer? Tim

 

Great score ! You prove the old adage of "You snooze, you lose", only you didn't snooze and you certainly didn't lose. Congratulations.

 

great find,good luckwith the car........

 

With pics like that on C.L. you are lucky it lasted more than an hour.

 

Huge score, congrats!

 

Very nice find / project . If you came past on I-87 , I would have jumped in and helped and cried.

 

Perfect timing with everyone else scared of the impending doom

 

So far so good! A little indoor car wash as wipe down. I can't wait to see it polished.

 

Very nice!

 

Such a nice little hot rod!

 

A '36 Ford rumble seat coupe, what a fantastic find. It looks to be in great condition too.

Cool man. Nice score.
Steve good luck with her.

 

Amazing find!

 

Congrats Man!

 

Wish I had that kinda luck...I would kill for the snow, the skiing has been terrible.
Ohh and the car looks great!

 

boy, that looks swell, I like your pickup too.

 

Hell of a score. Hope you just wash it make it run and drive so you can get back to you Pontiac looking forward to more on that build.

 

Great find and super nice car! Having all the later model engine/trans, and upgrades is just icing on the cake! I am quite envious, 36 coupes are one of my favorites.

 

That is a great find! I wish cars around me were in that great of shape.

 

Congratulations!
36 Fords are Fun!
Keep workin'

What a great find. I have one very similar even the same vineyard green but owned mine for over 40 years Pete

 

Sent my nephew into the rumble seat area to clean it out (he fits much easier than I do)


My niece and nephew enjoying the fixed rumble seat


Ordered a bunch of parts to change the look up a bit and make the outside match the hot rod insides.

I took the spare mount off and I will make a bracket to relocate the license plate over the mount holes


Buffed the lacquer and it is looking much better. Pulled the front end to install a drop axle.

rear end is next!

 

I'd be in the shop for a week, digging into this thing, I wouldn't want anyone around, I'd be in my own, little world. Great find, keep us in the loop.

 

Time for an update. I have been jammin on this thing trying to get it looking right.
Blackwalls


New caps too


The interior is so nice






new shoes


New license plate mount I made came out nice


The new look


I can't decide if it should go down a little bit more in the rear


Running

 

Holy cow that's a good find. What a beaut car.

I reckon it looks perfect right now... until you do something else to it which will make it even more perfect. The stance looks great, so I don't think it needs any lowering in the rear.

But then again, they do quite suit the taildragger look.

Great find. It is nice to see the sensitive preservation of this fine old runner. The 36 is such a wonderful design. It is going to give a lot of folks a smile once the mountains of snow melt. Thanks. TEB

 

NICELY DONE AND YOU DID NOT HESITATE LIKE SOME WILL!!

 

Man, what a great find! I like what you've done with it so far.
