Who wants to join the HAMB '35/'36 club?

My 36

 

Who let the chevy in here?

Damn Shiny! Bitchin!!

 

Thanks guys! I'm so stoked on this, and so are my kids. They've been bugging me to get back in an open car and now we are.

Jeffery James, I'm watchin your thread like a hawk! Not sure what direction yet but it'll be 50s and earlier all the way. And its staying '35 all the way, aint no '36 turncoat here I tell ya!

I wanna make it low like LowDug37's car, simple yet effuckinfective baby!

Django, I'll be picking your brain for sure, whats your number?

Zack, what would you do? hehe

Cool. I am pretty much watching everything on the HAMB that can help me get this thing running and looking good. I think as long as I can tackle the big steps like firing the motor and the stance the little things will follow at a good pace. Check out Enbloc's new 3w thread because he is tackling a lot of necessary items but also what makes the car stand out. I am sure he's probably got a lot more to share since his last post. That car is pretty amazing.

What engine are you going to run? Tell me flathead so I can cry.....jealous. Actually I am really digging the SBC right now and I might sell my 303 Olds to make way for a true 55-58 Chevy engine later down the line. I'll have enough flathead stuff to fill my brain once my '32 is well on it's way.

 

Killer job, Doug.

"Less is more".

 

Thanks for mention, I appreciate it. Its nice to know someones following!

I guess I can come and join the club as well.

Well I think it's only fair that I get to join in on the '35-'36 Club. Here is my newest addition.....



My Rat Rod '35 Build Thread


Enbloc hurry up with some updates hahaha!!!

 

I love the 36 fords.... very nice thread !!!

I just bought a 36 roadster... so now I have a pair


Doug

 

welcome Jeffrey
your build is going be very cool!
cheers mate,
cab

 

The latest additions are great...especially the phaeton....boy do I love that body style. I finally got steel wheels for mine and it makes a big difference. Decided against whitewalls... to much $$$ and I really like the black wall hot rod look better. Now I just have to wait for my youngest to finish college to get the interior done.....it only took me 12 years to get it to this point....

 

I could say the same to you!

 

Here's a teaser photo until I can post more.....I went from this....basically stock w/46 wheels

To this....dropped axle....wide fives.....ditched the spare......crap photo.......

 

take it out of that warehouse and lets cruise!!

 

Here's my project - if this photo post works (first try)

 

That turned out really good varodder!

Better pics Mike, better pics. But I love it.

 

ARE 35 PLYMOUTHS A EXCEPTION? HERES MINE.

 

VArodder, wow what an improvement!

Skoty, we aint biased! Besides yer car rules!

Thanks buddy!

 

That's a clean body......what's the story on this?

 

Few pics of mine.... Flatty was stuck when I bought it so we found another for it and just got it running

 

Im in

 

Im now in with photo.

 

Not usually a fan for chopping these 5w models, but this is the exception;
nicely done. Wash. Blue color? What tire size combo. are you running? Bitchin' stance....
Your "updates" really made the car perfect....

 

Thanks for the compliments. Paint is PPG base/clear...the paint store came up with a close match for Washington Blue based on an old color chart they had. Wheels are 15X5 front 15X7 rear 3 3/4" back spacing. Tires are 185 60 15 front and 235 75 15 rear. Rear end is 10 bolt chevy with chassis engineering springs, front is dropped tube axle, posies spring, and Speedway 4 bar with panhard bar. I had to put a 1 1/2 inch spacer on top of the spring because the car was too low and tended to scrape the grille in driveways! DRUSS has a thread with pictures of the chop in progress.

 

Here is another pic of my 36 with my new drivetrain!!!

 

im in... my 35 pickup...... before and after

 

Lets keep this thread alive............

Here are the latest additions, the '36 3W that replaced the one I sent to Finland. And, the most recent, '36 Roadster waiting for a "Hot Rod" makeover.

Johnnie.

 

Man that roadster is awesome Johnnie!!! I would be tempted to leave that fucker alone but a drop axle could and would make it better!!!

 

My '36 , as I bought it in 1994 and after "making it mine"

 

Cool welcome aboard!! I should have some updates on my own in the next week or so. New 265 is getting built and get stuffed in!!
