So i am getting a 1936 ford 5 window...

I have been trying to get this car for years , It's real rough. I am normally pretty sure of my self, but this is gonna be a tough cookie. Feel free to bash me if this is a pos .Long story short, its not costing me much cash just time and 2 tons of rock to replace the car to prevent washouts!

 

Ok so I know of a set of 1935 fenders will they work to replace the 36 fenders and still use the 36 grill ? I am not gonna get to this project for a while but you gota get what you can when you can!

 

I'll honestly have to say it looks better than the 35/6 Five window I have been eyeballing.

If it was an orphan four door sedan I might not think the same but some models like a 36 five window are worth saving even if they need more than a little bit of work. A couple loads of rocks for a coupe sounds like a pretty good trade.

 

Anyone who bashes you is an idiot...............its a '36 Ford Coupe!!! Awesome score.

 

A lot of +'s there. All garnish, latches, regulators, and very important, a start on a pair of rear fenders.

Lot of 4 door donors out there for parts to fix a coupe.

'35 front fenders are totally different, you would need a complete '35 clip.

You said you're not in a hurry, take your time, evaluate what you have, and watch for deals on what you need.

 

I think it doesn't look to bad. It looks fairly solid. What are you plans for the car? Keep the pictures coming.

 

What are the other cars sitting around the 36?

 

congrats, what's your plans for it? a 283 will fit like a glove

 

Thats way better than what I started with.

 

It's got a steering wheel, how bad can it be?

Seriously, it's a good start, you've got the hard to get rear guards (fenders) a boot lid (trunk) will be a little harder to find, once you have a donor four door things will look a little easier.

You've got yourself a good deal there, and bravo to you for taking on this challenge. Anyone who thinks to go the 'bash' is not worth the time of day, so easily ignored.

Good luck

 

I would love to have that car to start with !! Nice score

 

Thanks for all the congratulations, There are several other cars there but its taken me a long time to get this one, most of the other cars are way gone - 2 37 ford tudors that well make this look cherry, a 59 chevy 4 door a 41 ford tudor, a 56 ford p/u cab - a 40 dodge cab - the rest of these are unfortunatlly gonna stay there until the current landowner no longer has a say in it.( he's a nice old farmer but has little intrest in our hobby. )

 

Congrats! Looks like the Metal is still decent, and that means alot, you've got something to work with! If time is on your side, have fun, and build your Dream!

 

I've seen much much worse starting points.

 

Every great journey begins with a single step, and I think it looks like a great 1st step.

 

I see 4 fenders that are rebuild able I have fixed worse, it just take time and patience good starter project..

 

I like it bud!

 

bravo for saving another 36 coupe. No bashing here, all respect.

 

Awesome, thats a great body style to save, you'll have fun with that one.

 

Better than what I started with.

 

Dude.. I'd totally be slobbering over that. Good find..

 

Awesome find, I would build it Take some pictures of the other stuff where we can drool We are in a drought I dont think he needs to worry about water gushing

 

Well the old man changed the deal today He wantwd $200 instead of the rock but had his grandson hel me load it with a skid steer so I I fiured that would be ok cause I wasn't looking forward to moving all that rock! I checked out the other old fords and they are to far gone.....

 

Go for it, guys start with less all the time.

 

I would take that 36, just a little TLC and she would be back on the road again..........

 

Oh I got it. It's in my yard right now! Waiting for a new hydrolic pump for my forklift to unload it with! Oh did all 5 windows have a roll down back window in 1936? This one does.

 

PICTURES!!! PLease

 

if you dont want it... i got next Dibs

 

I saw a willys coupe fixed on here that was alot worse than this 36. They dont make them anymore and I would definately hoard it!

 

Yeah that's pretty much the plan for now I drove by it the otherday and saw aan old oil tank rolled up aganst one of the 37 tudors there and realized the folks that live there were running equipment there and moving iron around _ I thought to my self I'll give it one more try befor that 36 gets ruined. Paid off! Last year I got the 36 ford bed that's on my 41. At the time the owner ssaid he would not sell the 36coupe. Gald I gave it one more shot!
