Gee I wonder why. Damn, Chris, after seeing your "new" '36 3 window in person and JeffreyJames '33 pics, the wheels are really churning. You were right Jeff, the bug bit the hell out of me!

 

BTW, again thanks for looking at the 36 for me.

 

Glad to do it. Layne will be prepping it thru the week. I gotta catch the Redeye to the mainland tonight (any HAMBers in Oshkosh, Wisconsin?) but will be back in Hawaii Friday evening. I'll help Layne finish it up Saturday and we'll get some pics and an inventory list for you.
I checked out your '31 thread and if that's any indication where you are going with the '36 that's gonna be one badass car.

my '35 in the works

 

Man, this one is ugly!

 

O/T: Love this flame job. Any side shots of this car?

 

My 35 came to me by way of a fellow Flathead Club member. It sat in his collection of vintage Ford convertibles and coupes since 1970, and cost him less than a thousand dollars. I learned of the car in 1993 or so, and while getting to know its owner, I asked if he’d give me first right of refusal for the car on several occasions. The answer was always, “you’re not the only one” or “I doubt you could afford it”.

Finally I heard through the grape vine that it was on the market. The price seemed up there and I never got a chance to ask the owner what was truth or fiction for an entire year. I caught up to him at a swap meet a couple years ago and learned the actual price was more along what I thought was fair. I went to see it within a few days with cash in hand and the rest is history, the beginning of a long and happy life together, hopefully for many cruises to come. Even as I was loading the car on my trailer a call came in, to inform the former owner that money was on the way for the car from another party. I heard the words every car guy dreads to hear, “sorry but I sold it, and the new owner is loading it as we speak”. I’ve been on the receiving end of that phrase and had to say it a time or two, but I can’t help grinning every time I remember the moment.

For most of its time in the previous owner’s possession, it sat for almost forty years in the corner of his garage, getting the occasional visit when he came in to throw a spare part or two, found at a swap meet or on a parts hunt, into it for safe keeping. All those collectable parts came with the car, not to mention the odd piece I’ve been lucky enough to find since it has been in my stewardship. I want to drive it as a survivor because it will only be this way once. When I stop to do the math this car was in waiting for two or more years before I even saw my first one. Anyone out there believe the connection to their car is an act of fate?

Go to my album and learn of the ghost that came with this car.

 

mine.........almost done.

 

Bob, where's the cars in your pictures?

This one.....thins one makes me rethink my whole plan of attack on my '33. The stance and chop is doing it for me.

 

This is one I bought for $25 just to get the rumble seat hardware from. Mind you that was a few years ago.
