Customs Looking for some inspiration

I am going to start work on my grandfather's 1936 Studebaker in the next couple of months. It is a 4 door Dictator. It will be staying a 4 door because of the family connection with the car and I will not be chopping it. I'm wanting to see some customized mid 30's 4 door cars. I'm looking for ideas on how the car will look when done. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How bout Clean it up, Slam it down, Make it mechanically sound, and Roll....
Got any pics?

 

Heres a nice one you might take to the photoshop thread and tweak to suit you.

 

Yeah it looks like a car that sat in a field for 35-40 years. My plans are to fix it mechanically and get it running but after that I'm not 100% sure what else I want.

nothing like a good challenge - whatever you do with it make it as safe and reliable as possible - including some hop up work on motor.

This is the basic plan. I'm doing an engine swap to a Ford 289, t5, 8" rear. And maybe a mustang 2 front. Haven't decided factory front axle or not. Kinda depends on what it is going to take to fix it. The car was originally green. I'm thinking of a dark midnight blue. But haven't decided yet for sure on the color.

It will also get artillery wheels and white walls

Looks like it could become a nice moon shine runner.

 

Similar year Pontiac.

 

That looks pretty cool

What about a 289 Studebaker.

 

I've thought about that, I already have the Ford parts. So that was why I have decided to go that route

I vote lowrider style

 

I have seen your car in person. Make it safe and reliable and LEAVE it ALONE[emoji844] It's a great car just the way it is, please do not change it.

I doubt it mine is the rusty one in the garage.
