I dont know if you remember me or not, but I came by and looked at your 47 when we had come out west for a vacation a few years ago. I dont have...
Definitely looks to be ones out there in my budget. Down side is the distance, but there isnt much you can do about that. Did see a mostly...
It seems like that would probably be the best. And maybe an open driveline conversion as well to get a better rear axle and ratio. The trick seems...
That’s kinda what I think. The $20k budget is if I came across a more desirable/valuable car. Something like the 35/36 coupe that this thread...
I don't have a particular car that I am stuck on, mostly late 30's to late 40's. Leaning towards mostly stock flathead power but wouldn't rule out...
I wouldnt say I am "green" at this, just to cautious I think. I think I am to busy sometimes looking at all the faults to see what it could be,...
I went and looked at the 41 sedan last night. A 47 sedan is one of the other body styles I am interested in with the plan of it being lowered a...
I guess I'm just not a high roller like some of you! lol I could see someone that really wanted a 35/36 coupe dropping $17k, lets face it there is...
True, but I am looking at cars in the 1936 - 1948 range. I found a 1941 sedan at a fair price but I don’t like the front sheet metal for that year.
So he sold it today, not sure for how much $. He was asking $17,500 for it and I made an offer of $15k which I thought was strong for its issues...
Not sure about a "fast title" since its out of state from MO. At the very least its going to need the brakes gone thru, the roof insert replaced...
If we get to the point that he accepts my offer then I would plan on do more extensive investigating of the cars condition and verifying the vin#...
Sales tax is around 7% plus transfer fees. Then if I want to register it and put a plate on it that could be another $500. But they only give you...
I'm in limbo at this point. I made an offer last night in the range of whats been listed here that was about $2500 under his asking price. He had...
I think this is what he is eluding to. The original MO title is signed on the back from 1979. I dont remember if it had someones printed name with...
Well its either a 35 with front 36 sheet metal or a 36. I dont remember the X stamping but something to look at if I go back. The fiberglass...
So fenders, hood and grille will swap between years? I believe the original owner passed away and the seller bought it from his estate. I am sure...
I did not look that closely at the title or vin# since he didnt have it titled in his name. Basically told him I would pass on it if the title...
It would be a cash purchase. I just like to have an idea when I buy something like this what could I get for it when it comes time to sell it. It...
Also when "Googling" pictures of 1935 and 1936 Ford 5 window coupes the grilles seem to be different. The grill on this car mostly matches...
Just got off the phone with the local tag office. Basically he needs a title in his name to sell it to me to be legal. The MO title was last...
I'm not sugar coating anything. I believe the car was painted sometime in the 80's. It looks like they used something like a type of high build...
The Anglia was sold. I need to research the differences between 35 and 36 to know what to look for. As for the title he has a Missouri title not...
Whats the difference between a 35 and 36?

Been generally looking for a driver quality HAMB type car. So I went and looked at a 1935 Ford 5 window coupe with a rumble seat. The car is...
For my project (36 truck) I used the 92-96 F150 clutch & brake pedal assembly. This era used a hydraulic master / slave. I was able to retrofit...
I have been looking for something like the Tuxedo soft cover design that would keep the bed clean/dry but still allow it to roll up when you need...
I made a cardboard template of the drivers side lower cab area to compare against the passenger side and it’s pretty close. I am not sure where...
Yes I definitely thought of doing that. However my concern was more about getting it body worked back even since it’s curvy in all directions. I...
