New, updated pics of my 1935 Ford 5W...

My girlfriend took some cool shots of my car the other day, so I thought I'd share and show anyone who cares the status of my '35...



I got a novelty plate made using my newly issued tag number. Full exhaust and working front and rear windows...



The headlights work...



Angus loves it...

 

I like it!

 

I like it a lot. Clean and simple.

Cute dog there. What breed is he? A mix?

 

Cool pics, cool car, cool dog! Diggin the taillights.

 

Very nice... Gary

 

He's a French Bulldog, and he's hilarious!

 

Great pics, cool car - great touch including your dog. Best of luck with the car.

 

Looks GREAT!!!! More pics!!!!

 

Probably the coolest '35 I've ever seen, love the frenched tailights, very clean yet simple. The dog steals the one shot though.

WoW! Awesome coupe! What size tires are you using on the front and rear? It has a great stance

 

Jesus. I ****ing love that '35 for real dude!!!! I've watched the you tube video of that thing going in and out of the garage a bunch of time to get me excited to work on my own. Simply rad!!!!!

 

And how the hell did you get the hood and grille to line up so well. That my friend makes you a wizard.

 

Ditto!!

Also! What do you have going on inside? Bench seat? Steering and Dash? Etc...

 

Very nice car. Are you going to run that plate and keep the DVM issues under the seat?

Thanks for the kind words, I've been driving it every day. A few more, taken at night so a bit grainy...





Profile shot...

 

Nice car it looks great and French Bulldogs are the Best

 

Hope you don't think I was being insulting by this, but I wanted to see the stance better. B&W seemed to bring out the moment... And the stance! What a *****in' coupe!!

 

*****'n old car, handsome dog.

 

The interior is a bench seat out of an '84 Dodge Caravan. The steering wheel is just an aluminum 3-spoke, quick-release, dragrace-style...attached to a polished aluminum hot rod column, which turns a rack & pinion setup. I have IFS with front disc brakes, stroked sbc with a TH350, and a 1959 Olds rearend with coilovers and a 4-link/panhard bar. Wow, looking back at what I just wrote makes me feel like a gold-chainer! The gauges(temp., oil press., and speedo) are white Stewart Warner Wings. Lining everything up nice took some time. To get the hood to seat flush against the cowl, I carefully bent the bottom half of it to a more extreme curve than the actual cowl. As for the shell/hood alignment, just careful ***embly at the fenders and reaming out a couple of the mounting holes to allow for a little adjustment. My friend Skot did a lot of amazing sheet metal work on the car, making my job much easier...

 

cool car, cool dog.

were those pics tweeked on the computer or they just come out like that? very nice. I really like the one with the back end coming out of the garage.

 

Nice black and white modification to those photos...I'll have to save them! As for the plates, I do keep the originals in the car...never seem to get h***led. And, yes...Frenchies are great dogs!

 

Cool thanks dude! What's the rolling stock? 15" wheels and tires?

 

Nice! You have fenders. Nothing wrong with ANY of that, IMO! I pretty much have the same basic setup as well.

Good info about the bench seat. I have buckets in mine right now and have been thinking a bench needs to go back in it.

I would also like to know!

 

True, the fenders hide all the modern madness underneath! Here is the wheel/tire info:
Front- 5.60/15 with a 2 7/8" whitewall
Rear- 7.00/15 with a 4 1/4" whitewall

 

Awesome! Thanks!

 

I am hoping for a similar look but I went with 5.50's and 7.50's on 16" wide five wheels. The stance is exactly where I hope my own sits. Just a really cool car man.

 

Awesome Adam!!! really clean and yet ready to go on the prowl (Hahaha!!!) You had some really great cars in the past and this is no exception!!!! congrats.

Ken

 

Nice...exactly what I was going for! I'm pretty happy with the luck I've had with cars...well, maybe not luck. I always seem to forget how much time, money, and work I have into a car when it gets to this stage, and I'm actually able to drive and use it every day. I hope to go all the way with this car...paint next(deep champagne color), then interior. Thanks for the compliment.

 

MMMMMMMMmmmmm. the plans sounds pretty tasty. How long have you been working on this one? Any before pics?

 

Wow - that looks great. Good looking car and pictures.

Thanks,

Scott
