Projects 36 ford coupe build started

...........yes?

 

Now you sir is a doin a rebuild ! Many more pic's please very damn cool. Roger

 

Thanks,
Oddly enough, I have purchased a number of body parts for this car out of the State of Maine.

 

good work,i'm in on this build

 

Ditto here; good to see you back on it.......

 

That is looking really good! I love to see transformation. Not trying to thread jack or anything, but if you or anyone else knows where there is a '36 coupe rear fender and or decklid I would be forever in your debt. They are really the last body peices I need. Then I can start my own build thread. Again killer work!

 

Great project ! That 390 looks tight but just right at the same time.
60'

 

Which side? May have a line up!

 

A lot of work but it is turning out nicely!

 

Today's progress...cut one 1936 ford coupe in half.
I am keeping the solid rear section to graft to the cowl and floors in previous pictures and donating the rusty floor and subrails to fellow HAMB'r "heyitsnate" so Nate can use it for a template on his 36 coupe build.

 

very nice work

 

Few more pictures.

I love Fords you have your work cut out for sure ! will enjoy seeing how it goes Best of Luck !

 

Thanks...... I think.......

 

Well AlrightMan you are doing some killer work,need some measurement if I can help give me a shout.Caddy motor is cool,Wished I would have fourlinked mine but am happy with the MII.Ride and drive ability was a major must for me,I wanted a get in and go anywhere car above anything else.Keep up the good work and thanks for posting keep it comingEconomy$$$$ got me stopped on mine

 

Looking great, glad you are not shying away from a challenge!

 

Sorry carlos. A mustang 2 will not drive any better than a properly built and balanced straight axle setup, especially using bias ply tires. Im not bagging on your choice of suspension, just saying.

 

Great start so far! Have you given any thought to the length of the cad motor in the engine bay? Those caddy's are a tight fit. Plenty of ways around it. Just wondering what you had in mind? My 331 barely fits in my 36 and that's with an elec fan (boooo!). I pieced together a 3w a few years ago with a 35 truck firewall for the cad that I wish I repeated on this one. (Maybe an off season do-over?) Good luck, and I'll be watching!

 

Son you aint tellin me nothin you be coolaint my first rodeo had a 32 roadster with a moredrop still hit a pot hole hard enough to bust the lense in my head lite but my 40 with MII cruz 85 and enjoy the ride not dodging every dip.I did have a 56 big window with drop axle and reversed spring and power steering that rode really good

 

Of course...wrong side. I will say something if I find one.

 

I have given it much thought, but unfortunately cannot seem to find any 35 or 36s to reference that have cad 331-390s. I also do not have the front sheet metal, so I have been winging it so far. While on vacation last week, I managed to horse trade for an original 36 radiator that has been re-cored, so I will have a better idea of how it will fit when I mock everything up.
