Hot Rods My 1935 Traditional Hotrod Ford Coupe build

It's been a bit slow going. Sent the car back to the body shop to fix some imperfections in the paint.

Installed '37 door handles.




Got the firewall painted up. Ran battery cable through the chassis to the trunk.








Dynamat everywhere.

 

Hi Branden....Bob in Scotland here...your car is looking awesome.....your attention to detail is real sharp......you must be eager to get out in her

 

Oh my is that nice. I like your taste. Beautiful build. Great job...

 

Car looks fantastic. Love the colour combination.

Car looks great, love the color!!

 

What a beautiful job you have done. I love the color!!! This is inspiration enough to get working on mine. Congrats on the great build and keep it up!

 

Don't know how I missed this thread before, but great job! Love the way this project is going.

 

Been a while. Slowing going as usual.

Bolting the fenders, running boards, and hood back on...









It's out of the garage and off to get interior. Really dirty but it's getting there.





The start of the interior. The leather boots will be the color of the seat and door panels.

 

Man, that thing is pretty. It's really coming out nicely. Are you planning on matching out that traingle of the inner fender that is visible between the grill, fender and hood or is it staying black?

 

Thanks so much!

That's my boner move. When I was separating parts for paint, I didn't realize that was exposed.

It's back to the body shop when interior is done.

 

Been following this build, great choice of colors, you have a good eye.

 

Wow ! I missed this thread, really love the way you are building this, looking forward to seeing the interior.

 

Man that thing is looking GREAT!!!!

 

your car is gorgeous! I think the 35 is better looking than a 36.

 

Wow, great job all around. love the color

 

A wonderful car! Very nice work.

 

Some details of the interior.

Headliner is suede. Panels are leather.









I'm going to get working on a custom battery enclosure that my interior guy will then cover and match to the rest of the interior.

 

Wow! nice job

 

NEARLY DONE!

After a very unfortunate small fire... Backfire lit some fuel that leaked from the hardline from my fuel pump.

Car's okay, just covered in extinguisher bullshit.

Here it sat yesterday after idling for a few minutes. The mighty roar of the Mercury 8CM...



Detail of what I did behind the seat. Left it open for trunk access and some of my smaller friends may be able to sit back there!





For the first time in my life, I spent the money on a leather interior... Suede headliner.





Trunk forward before the seat went in...



Battery Box I made and had upholstered...



I didn't get a picture of the completed exhaust, but it's done now. Cutouts are electronically opened and closed. A must-have option for me. Sometimes, you just have to get exhaust gasses out a bit quicker...

 

Got it cleaned up and started. Merc engine sounds burly...





Made a throttle cable and return spring bracket.



Got the exhaust cutouts wired up...

 

Hi Branden......how the hell can you do that and go motorcycle camping trips and surf in Hawaii........WOW

 

very nice 35. Colors are spot on and the stance is killer.

 

I try and jam everything into one lifetime! How's your car coming along?

Thanks man!

 

Beautiful!

 

Your car is well executed and will always be in style,very nice build.

 

Man you did a great job on your car!!!

 

wow, sweet... good choice for the color, how does it drive? great job, congratulations

 

Very nice. Gary

 

Great colour combo between the paint and the interior. Doesn't the back of your seat hinge up like a 36 to access the trunk ? Pete

 

Looks a lot like Titian Red in this photo. LOVE it, wise choice on saying no to the wires, gives it that early fifties look. Nice work, good eye.
