Hot Rods The worlds ugliest '36 Ford 3/W

It's back! Can't get out of it, so I'm going in.
I picked up a donor 4 door sedan with a good chassis and hopefully a workable flathead drive train. I'm going to remove the sedan body and put the 3 window body on that chassis with the stock front clip. The 3 window has been chopped, channeled and sectioned so it's going to be interesting.

 

hmm... one mans vision, thank god that was only one man lol.. good luck defuglifieing that thing lol..

 

Good luck. Pretty much whatever you do will be an improvement.

 

I don't know why but that front brings early fifties f-series to mind.

 

It actually looks like a fun project,.... Of course I'm on my 5th. cup of coffee right now. Kinda looks like they were going after that 1950 Ford Pick up look,.... Huh,.. never really liked them either. (But !,.. I think that ol' 3 winder has PLENTY of potential !)

 

Good save and keep the updates coming. I will be watching this one.

 

Why not just transfer the front body work from the donor to your three window? Is the chassis junk?

 

A face only a mother could love.

 

Good karma on you for saving that nasty bastard. Is it going to stay chopped?

Good luck, -Abone.

 

Yikes! What was the original builder on, LSD?

 

HHAHAHAHAHA This is funny!!

 

The best make over ever... you can't lose eh!

That monstrosity is what happens when someone builds a "custom" without a vision, but with a shopping list of modifications. I've seen lots of lesser examples, but that face takes the cake! It should be the poster child for more restraint and a little forethought. I think that stock nose will help that poor thing immensely.
It should be a fun project. Good luck, and kept us up to date on your progress.

Your damn right...its gonna be interesting. Keep us posted.

 

Whats wrong with the frame it's on?


Car doesn't look chopped to me.

 

good luck on your build...............Anything you do will only improve it.

 

The more door looks pretty cool to me.. Why not just build it and wait for another front end for the coupe.....

 

Man I'm glad you're doing the 3W body right. That front end is like Bruce Lee's sister, Ug Lee. Are the wheelbases the same? Please excuse my ignorance, but it seems like the sedan might be longer. I can dig getting the old flattie to run. Subscribed.

 

I'd keep the sedan and shitcan the coupe.
But I'm weird that way .....

 

I would not under any circumstance spoil the sedan to try and save that Mongrel....just junk the front sheet metal and trawl the ads for a set of panels to start making it look right..then get a frame and build it properly...you should be able to sell the sedan as is, and make enough to get the bits to sort out that fugly coupe.

 

Don't listen to him!,... His signature says it all !

think i'd get the mor-door on the road,

 

Exactly my first thought when I saw it. Second reaction involved an upset stomach.

Knowing who it was built for it was more than likely mounds of cocaine.

 

I seen that 36 on ebay a few times and posted here a couple also. I even considered it for a couple minutes. I remember it was a good price and with a lot of work it should end up being a cool car. Good luck

 

The chassis under the 3 window is not a 35-40 Ford chassis.

The sedan body will NOT be touched. It's in very good shape and I don't want any part of cutting it up. I'm just taking the front clip, dash, chassis and drive train for the 3 window. I have a rough but workable 36 cowl that I will use to replace that awful split windshield with a stock tilt windshield. The sedan body will be sold or traded for parts.

 

LOL crack was probably involved....

 

I've seen Fat Sweaty Hairy Man-woman that are better looking than that 36'. Glad you are rescuing it!

 

Dude really?

 

Just in case people didnt get the cocaine joke.
