1936 3 Window Build

Just getting the piece tacked in place and the panel level.

 

nice build....

 

looking good! pretty much done with the major metal work/ replacement then, right?

 

Ya once the trunk is done then the big stuff is complete. Still have to work the fenders, floor, firewall, etc.

 

For all those coming to Bonneville Speed Week, I'm having a shop tour Thursday and Friday the 6th and 7th from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm. Id love to see you guys there.

Here's a link to the shop tour for more info:

Wow, that looks good

Almost got the opening finished. Just got to finish weld the passenger piece, and then make the driprails.

 

Is that a larger than original trunk opening? When I redo my '36 (rumble seat), I'd like to convert it to a trunk but with the opening more resembling the trunk of a '40 Ford coupe.

 

The top of the opening is in the same place, and the bottom of the opening is also in stock location. Its the sides and the size,and radius of the corners that I've changed.

 

Finished up on the trunk opening this morning. Now its on to the drip rails.

 

Oh hell yes! Man!!! I want a 36 3 Window SO BAD!

 

Wow...your metal working skills are amazing. Do you use a shrinking disk?

 

I just finished this pencil rendering of a 35 Cabriolet, and I now understand why you changed the trunk lines and I like what you did with the lower panel! Your work is superb!!!

Oh and this is one sh!t hot rendering!

 

That's funny cause I call this drawing "Sunburn"! It does look like something from a cartoon. Like some underwater creature or a bug... Ed

 

That drawing is absolutely amazing.

Until someone said it was a drawing, I thought it was a photograph.

VERY well struck sir!

 

Ive been working on getting the driprails made. All I have left is the top, but Im waiting on that piece till i see what type of hinge system we will use.

 

That drawing is badass and so is this car!

 

I finished up on the drip rails the other day.

that really makes the rear deck flow. i always thought my square lid looked awkward. but i don't have the skills or balls to try this! looks great. keep the pics coming.

 

That's amazing. You really do some rad work over there and I wished I could have seen it in person when we went to Bonneville. Next year perhaps.....

I wish I could afford to let you loose on my '32 5 Window. It definitely could use a metal smith like yourself.

 

Chris did you have any straight-on side profile shots of this car after you had chopped it? I'm chopping a '35 3 window next week and I'm using this thread as one of my references- I think it'll come in very handy! Thanks in advance- -P40-
