1936 FORD roadster-the build begins

Love it!!! Does the dog approve? So, you have two roadsters and a coupe?? Poor guy, the decisions must be killing you, ha ha. Enjoy!!! And, Merry Christmas. Tim

 

I see the 36 has the shorter top like a US car has and the 35 has the longer top on it. Both look like good projects. I like the heads and intake too.

 

Oooooh....'36 Ford roadster. Pretty rare even here. Nice!

 

Why is that? The one looks like it has the 5 window dimension, 4" from top of deck lid to belt line. Didn't know there was a short and a long top? I would like to see a long top from a side view with top up...................

 

Whoa whoa whoa!!! I love the '36 but where's the Jack Henry come from? Is it one of the recent repops or a gennie? So cool....

 

Very cool......keep us posted on the build.

 

I'd cut my right arm off for one.....but then I'd need an automatic trans too.

I'm somewhat in the process of casting my own intake based off the Jack Henry. Not exactly the same design but a similar concept using original early ford intakes as the base. But that's only because I can't get a gennie JH.

 

Cool build....ha ha that fucking avatar makes me laugh.

 

Short top is far more atractive in my opinion. Better proportions especially, if you plan on chopping your car.

 

I have to agree BUT since mine is a wannabe with no rules, and I have 13" back there to play with. I like options!

 

I never knew there were Australian Roadsters, I can understand why you wanted an American body, far better lines IMO. Good luck with the project. Bob

 

In my opinion the 36 roadster has the best lines of any car ever built. Good luck on the build keep us posted.

 

This ^^^^

 

Great project!

 

Had given you up for dead! Good to see you back on the project......

 

Awesome project.

 

I also like the Avatar of ol' Lizzie! And snitches get stitches! So is the roadster gonna drag it's tail?

 

Mannnn that makes me want a '36 BAD! Looks like a great project!

 

I finished my roadster about 5 years ago. Good to see another roadster coming back to life. Please keep the pictures coming.

 

Stroked 36 l,ve got a 35-36 roadster USA model based on the 3 window coupe body ? Oz body's are based on 5 windows coupe l think the door are same length on the roadster & phaeton only oz roadster ute have short doors ?

 

Hi stocked 36

Oh man what a cool build. Looking forward to this. A 36 roadster is just awesome.

 

Happy to buy a pair from you if you manage to trip over another couple can I ask what you paid for the pair you found

Subscribed. You are building my dream car. Tried to buy a few roadsters out here in Aus but always went beyond my budget. Hence building my pheaton. Looking forward to the build.

Would love the 35 roadster, but with my 36 phaeton, model a roadster pickup and XP falcon wagon projects, the budget is taking a hit. Unless you make me an offer I can't refuse.

There are still a few '36 Roadster hidden in barns...I found mine last year, sitting for 30 years with a 392 Hemi stuffed in between the frame rails.
