Projects My 36 ford project. Or how to ruin a perfectly good car

Nice work mate

 

I've always heard that "anyone can restore an old car, it takes a real man to cut one up". Living proof right here folks. Be sure to keep posting any further progress.

Got my buck done and mounted. Also got the beginning of the lower panels started. Sorry for the bad pics. It's a real humid in Austin today. I feel bad for the guy's driving in for a lone star.

Nothing done today. Just hanging out at the lone star round up. Perhaps a little inspiration

Round up is over. Time to get to work. Going to work on templates today.

You my man have really big balls and one hell of a lot of skills....Plus a very nice shop with lot's of great equipment it looks like.
We are all watching you now...

 

Doing a great job keep it up.

 

Got some work done this weekend. I couldn't get it I one piece hat to split it in 2. It always looks so easy on tv. Still needs welding and metal Finish. .
Time for drinks.

That is indeed looking good! I think it would look good with a Duvall style windscreen like Blackroads!

Doc.

 

Great project, I winced a little when you cut the roof off but you obviously know what you're doing. Very cool!

 

Been working on the side panels last couple days hopefully this weekend I'll have the whole back end back off and finish weld it and put it on permit. Still needs to the corners for the Trunk lid at this point and the side reveal.

Wow! What a great build, superb fabricating.

 

this is how I'm making the belt line. Skateboard wheel and flat disk. Also used as my tipping die

Cool build keep the updates coming

 

Got a little work done today

Really nice work man, but could you speed it up a little? Its been almost 3 weeks since you started this, and I'm getting impatient to see what its going to look like finished.

 

I'm trying. But like most of us the day job tends to get in the way.

Possible 3 window. Stay tuned.

Dang! Everybody is starting to ruin perfectly good cars! What is the world coming to?
Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing.

 

Seriously awesome.

 

Hopefully going to finish up my tail pan this weekend. it's all welded and ground. 19 separate pieces. just needs some hammer and Dolly work and a little bit of finish welding.

Very impressive work. I love watching your progress on this.

 

realy nice project!

it's very interseting for me, I will cut my 35 sedan soon

 

Some crazy metalfabrication going on here.Been following this from the start and you´re doing a fantastic job.Keep it up

 

Thanks for all the kind words. Yes I know this seems like a bit of a crazy idea. But giving how expensive 35/36s coupes have gotten it's almost the only option. When I was looking for a car they were either way out of my range or almost beyond repair. I've seen some really ruff cars come back from the dead. If you think about how much time goes into fixing a really rough coop. doing the conversion from the sedan is almost less work. obviously you have to have the skills or the money. Especially if you're talking about doing a full custom type built then it really doesn't matter. better off cutting up a sedan.

Too bad you didn't hold off and enter this as a "Tech Week" item. Bob

 

Weld grind hammer dolly repeat. The tail section is now a permanent part of the car. still has a long way to go in terms of cleanup. But I made it and it's there. And for the most part I'm pretty happy with it. A little lead and a little love and it will good to go.

Beautiful work, very impressive, and balls-y.
