Build a 36 ford before Paso what are you crazy

must admit im quite surprised as to how good the back actually looks with such a heavy chop. keep up the good work and the pictures coming!

 

We got a lot farther on the chop today. We got the quarter window on the driver side buttoned up and started on the driver door. All in between cleaning up the shop for our open house on Sunday. Thats it for now here's the pictures. Thanks Scott

 

its looking good guys!

 

nice

 

We got alot done over the weekend and monday. The driver side of the quarter window is finished and the right side is about 1/2 way done. Sunday we had our open house it was cool we had a good time i will do anouther post about that though.
Today I tached in the new crossmember in the new frame. Than cut the camaro clip off the old frame. The rest of the day was spent gringing and fitting the two frame sections together. So tomarow they should be one again. Thanks Scott.

 

I love this thread!!!!

 

I thought that 5" was way to much but this is looking fantastic. What a lot of work though. Keep the pictures coming.

Your shop is consistenly turning out top-notch work...nice job, Scott.

Bryan

 

This is a joke correct? If not, please tell me a crude mock-up for the real thing!

 

that was the stuff he took out that somene else did!

 

Yes thats the real deal. in someone elses shop. All thats good for it to laugh at.
Thanks for all the good words and I'm stoked a lot of people are following this thread. Because most the time I post this stuff after a 12 plus hour day. So keep on looking and I will keep on posting. Thanks Scott

 

just a question, but, is the rear window getting chopped a little?..... I'm not questioning your design, I think it's a cool idea to have a rear window in a chopped car that you can see out of. but since the other windows are so obviously heavily chopped, that stock height rear window seems a bit out of place....... I know this reads a bit uppity, believe me I'm not trying to be that way......

 

This is a very exciting thread.

Thanks for posting so many pictures so we can all track the progress. I know I often sound like a broken record telling people how much I like to see in-progress shots, but it really gives me a shot to see other people putting in hard work and getting real results.

The work looks great and I'll keep checking back. We're all pulling for ya!

 

yep keep the pictures up

 

I'm with Dennis on the window. Keep up with the pics!

 

Yes we are plaining to chop the rear window. But I wanted to have all the outher window openings finished up be for I decided how much. I want to cut out around 2" we will see what looks the best. Thanks Scott

 

Man, that's going to look pretty good......not a mailslot, but not stock either......do you guys have to rewire and plumb as well?......

 

Most likley we will have to some thing about the wirring. It looks like they were having a sale on yellow wire when you look under the dash. All the brake lines to the front have to be done. We are planning to replace the fuel tank and the line looks a little crusty. So yes to all of the above. Scott

 

Today I welded the front clip back on the car and checked that it would go low enough. Phill worked on the pasanger side of the chop. the chop is getting close to done we hope that not much later than monday we will be on the garnish mouldings. Tomarow I will be on the motor and trans mounts and finishing up the front end. Thats it for tonight. thanks Scott

 

i feel lazy!

 

Welded the front clip onto the car??

 

Awesome....I almost feel motivated, keep the pictures coming before it goes away.

 

this IS an exciting thread....keep it coming

 

There was a camaro subframe in the car. So I had to cut that out. Because the car would not go low enough. Scott

 

here is todays pictures. we got the front end and motor mounts finished. Tomarrow Phill should be finishing up the chop. I will be on the c notch and four bar set up.I think we are right on track to finish by Paso. Scott

 

Ah, I see. I was thinking front end as in sheet metal.

Looking great!

 

this is looking really good. cant wait to see it here in paso. ill take some closer looks at the craftsmanship when you get here. so far looks good. good luck guys, the show is just around the corner.

 

Today i forgot my camera . But we got the transmission mount done, The brake pedal put in. We also started to cut the rear window opening down 2"s. That made a big differance on the look of the back of the car. I should have the front end finished up tomarrow and get started on the rear end. Thanks Scott

 

HAHA. I felt the same way by the time blue collar posted his second set of pics. Damn I'm still laughing at that shit...

 

I'm envious.
