Well....I have been out of Rods for about 35 years. I bought a 1936 Ford 5W Coupe last year....figured it was now or never. Man things have sure changed!!! I am building a driver not a trailer queen. It has a Mustang front end, 350/350, 9in Ford rear end. I think I need to replace the 350 with a 2004-R maybe. The body is not to bad except for the passinger side door at the bottom, and the deck opening. And of cource the front sheet metal is all out of whack. I know I can get a skin for the door but I don't know what to do about the deck opening, or where to start to get the fenders, hood, cowl and grill to all line up. Guess that is all for now, hope to get some help/advice from you guys in the future.
hi boots , happy to have you here , i have a 36 5 win too, not far from you i`m in casual (caswell county) i have a few things you might need for yours send me a message in interested in seeing them ,no fenders
hey mudbone, I don't need fenders but I am interested in anything you might have that is in better shape than what I have. Thanks
Just like riding a bike 36bootlegger . Possibly use lock-up 350, or 700r4 tranny . Depends on diff ratio Good luck on body work later
mudbone, I am new to this web site...is it possible to send me a personal email about your spare parts, I haven't figured out how this works yet? I would like to get up with you an see what you have, that i might need! My 36 is a 20 year old build that was rode hard and put up wet i have rebuilt the running gear, the body has some cancer mostly the passenger lower door and around the deck lid and gutter. I think the grill is a repo it's OK but i would like to have a oem grill. like i said i am new to this am i am NOT building a trailer queen!! but i want it to look good up close, any help with parts and getting the front sheet metal to line up would be greatly appreciated. Thanks bootlegger
mudbone i am planning on comming out next weekend if it's not raining i want you to see my 36 so you can see what i am up against. i will call first. 36bootlegger
