Projects My friend Bruce's new 36 Ford roadster

Coupke weeks ago My friend Bruce (F-head) bought some 36 roadster doors, cowl and quarter panel pieces. He then found this car, the remains of a 36 5W. I delivered this car to him last weekend, and he already has it looking good.
Story on the 5W is it was used as a coyote killer, drive it around the ranch and blast the 'ol coyotes when you see em.

Now, a mere week later it's mocked up to be one bad ass roadster. Bruce has good taste, eh?



Before







After

 

I don't know man...it would look tits flat black with red wheels and a cry baby doll in the first pic.

I like it. What's the scoop on the roof?

 

sweet!

 

I immagine so you could stand up and shoot the coyotes. Note the dash has been cut (and edges rolled). Square wood blocks on the pedals, shifter handle bent strait up, gas tank in th trunk. It looks like they spent more time modifing the car than driving it

 

in true emperor from!!!!!!!!

 

wow, just what I wanted to do with my 5w when I got it.
looks great!

 

cool, very neat project.
Al.

 

He better live to be 125 years old.
How many projects does that make in his shop now?

Joking,Bruce has always got things done.And done right.

 

Looks like it's on its way.

 

And I know you'd be able to pull it off, too!

 

love the after

 

Kool

 

Looks good - quick progress

 

I don't care what anyone says there is nothing as bad ass as a 35/36 roadster.

 

I'm a bit surprised he doesn't have it running and driving by now. What's the hold up?

 

You guys are always coming up with some cool early Ford stuff.

Keep us posted on this one.

i guess you guys must have some good dope!!l quik results,chris any good deals on sedans,ill be calling you pretty soon i got some questions on a stock 39 ford flathead motor for my 36 coupe,i want hop it up some?

 

RAD!
Those rear skirts rule.....

 

Thats going to be so sick. Love it.

 

Whoa!!! I think I should lob the top off my new '35 after a few years and go topless after seeing this. That thing looks ridiculously good already. Definitely has a good eye.

 

I figured he was too busy holding your hand on one of your projects or something......

 

Wow!!

 

Rad !

 

I would be more interested in the final cut and results-Where is it going?

 

It's GOING to be badass.....like the rest of Bruce's rides....

 

To bad Bruce has no vision when it comes to old Fords....or vintage buildings.....or cool furnishings.....

 

No shit. Some guys just don't get it.

 

Apparently no one told him you can't build your own car.

 

The car looks awesome. Met a couple guys from Arkansas in the campground at the Oklahoma Nats in 91. They told a story about hunting turkeys or at least I remember it as turkeys. The had an old Ford Falcon with the roof cut off and the doors gone. They would idle across a field, see a turkey, sidestep out and let the car keep going. That way it wouldn't spook the birds by stopping. Said the car would stop on its own by hitting a rock, fence post tree or something.
