1936 Ford...the hard way. (VIDEO)

Man, that is some insane pickin right there!

This thread will make people appreciate the rusty projects they have that are all intact. Great work, It would be great to see this car evolve!!!

 

I'm a bit surprised that the H.A.M.B. Bowtie contingent has yet to comment on the "Another One Bites The Dust" segment of the video where the '37-'38 Chevy 4-door Sedan is pulled from the ravine (starting @ the 1:48 mark).

 

holy **** that's awesome. would have loved to have been there for that one. At least your's was a 3W.

 

^^^^^ouch!!!!^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

That'll buff out fine!

 

Awesome find and recovery. Time to get new tet**** shots!

 

Awesome find. Which I could find a ditch like that I would be digging more than just the coupe and 32 out
Any more of them worth saving? How many are yall going to get out of there?

 

Is there an upside down '36 fordor somewhere in that ravine to scavange the floor outa?

 

Lol I would trade it for the 5 window any day I dont care if I use a 2"X2" chunk from the remains of this body, I WILL use some part of it on my someday 36 build!! They threw the body in upside down and filled it with trash for years = not much left if they had of left it upright.....the lasdy who owned the property (she was over 70) said it was her uncles car and she remembered driving around in it.

 

In partial defence of my less enthusiastic Canadian bretheren. If I'd have found it, it wouldn't have been there for you.

Sincere congrats.

Doug.

 

Great save dudes, that is some hard core stuff right there. Thanx for the great do***entation, sounds like a generous offer on the roof pieces for the freight. Good ol H.A.M.B. brotherhood showin again. Proud of ya. ~sololobo~

 

Did Shannon help you dig?????????

 

Wow! a thread on Carchaeology!! Great stuff guys, another '36 live on.

 

What a great find. A 36 that I could afford!

I got off the beaten track in California last winter in a valley east of the 101 hwy south of San Jose. I saw a bunch of coupes and 30s cars along a river half buried in the bank in front of a ranch. I never had time to go back and look.

 

I'd love to have a 35-36 coupe but don't believe I want one that bad, a lot of work digging it out and then the rust repair!!!

 

haha. love it!

 

New meaning to the term GRAVE DIGGER

 

Didn't know grave robbing was legal in Kentucky.

 

Totally worth it! Hard work for sure, but sheesh, that firewall looks way better then mine, let alone the fender.

 

Wow!!!!

 

You go guys!
My '36 sedan is a member of the family now. Always loved those cars!
And the pith helmet is PRICELESS!!!!

 

I was afraid you were going to bend the roof getting it out,lol or the fender knocking the dirt off, lol. Gotta love it don't you.

 

Oh....that ain't Kentucky.....I wouldn't say you have a following, Just seen you guys around over the yrs at swap meets. I think I did buy some 40 Standard Grille halves from you a few yrs ago though.

Next time you go, I'll bring my Skid Steer (and maybe sign a confidentiality agreement )

 

Will be watching your progress with great interest!

 

In defense to all Canadians, it's not that we are lazy, we would rather just look in sheds rather than dig in the dirt.

 

Great job!

 

as much as i like these cars only 30 years ago would i have even thought about doing a "DIG" like this and thanks for filming it.

 

I'm thinkin' the Canadians might have been the smart ones. Is there really a shortage of 36 5 windows? And I hope the comment on the good dash was a joke, if not you guys need to get out of the hills more often!

 

I guess you would call that carcheology!

 

Its on ebay if anybody wants it, $650
