    Well, for 5.1/2 years i have been collecting parts and ideas to my 1936 Ford Roadster.
    finally it´s time to start building it.
    Bought a project car in Norway 2009. it was a streetrod-project, chevy SB with an th350 and a Ford 8" rearend in paralell leafs, plus a Mustang II Frontend.
    Not what i wanted, so i bought it without the driveline.
    Most of the Roadster-parts was there but some was eaten up by rust, some quite good parts from a 5W come in the deal.

    Kids plus a house-build came between, and with that came lack of both time and money.
    last winter/spring i started working on the parts for an upcoming car-show. and it felt great. i got a kick in the ass to finally start working on the project. just what i needed:eek:

    Here is a mock up with cowl and floorpans.

    Judging by your 1950 this is going to be an interesting build.

  10. Mr Swedeshoebox...Do I recognize those "B" pillar braces???? I sent a pair to Sweden some time back.

    Hello, I noticed that you installed a new floor. Who's floor did you use, and are you happy with the fit? I need to install a new floor in my '36 Roadster also. Thanks!

    The Floorpans are from Paul Bradley. nice parts. long deliverytime but definitely worth waiting for.
    Made a new tunnel and raised it about an inch at rear.
    Rockers are Mc´pherson. also nice.they where almost like stock. But now they are! have to make a tool to press some relives it them.

    Assembly of the chassies begins.

    I understand you miss your Roadster! but some of the parts from it will be back on the road on this car!

    As i wrote the plan was to show the chassies on a show, and to show that i not plan to build a Stock or Streetrod i let Janne Kutja do a drawing of the design i wanted with the parts i have or plan to use.
    here is the display we did, Me and Janne!
