Projects 36-taildragger.....Made in Sweden

Thanks Mano.

Tack Bosse. Lång väg kvar men ha tålamod.

Thanks Rex.

Thanks.

Thanks prefect20.I´m the kind of guy that puts some pride in doing as much as possible my self.That´s how hot rodders did it since the beginning and for me it´s really satisfying creating and fabricating.And one more reason is I don´t have the dollars to buy all the stuff.

 

Great job!

Thanks Chris.

Hey Mano.I´m pretty sure you are a proffesional translater

Thanks Klaz.

 

Made some small parts for the shifter today.Running a 1940 column whith column shifter and coupled it up to the 350 tranny.Had to shortend the shifter bar to clear the engine. Cut of about 1-5/16" and also removed one of the arms. Made a new arm to put on the tranny and one rod to fit between column and transmision

 

Loving this thread. Some incredible work and lovely attention to detail.

Got me subscribed. Looking forward to the updates.

Great work is'n it

 

Thanks a lot Paul. I´m watching your thread and you are doing some really nice job your self......Kenneth.

 

Time for another small up date. This weekend there was no work in the garage.Fellow Hamber J.B. and his friends in A-Bombers hot rod club put up a hot rod meeting and me and my youngest son drove there whith the modell-A coupe instead.We sure had a great time there.
This evening it was time for some after work in the garage again.Heated and bend the steeringarms to clear the wishbones.Have a 4" dropped axel which I believe is an old more-drop axel so I had to bend the steering arms a bit. Got it all mounted up and now its time to put on the wheels and set it down on the floor.

 

Well here it is. Finaly standing on it´s own four wheels.

 

Posting some pic´s of the body I have to deal with.Needs a lot of TLC but absolutly not hopeless.Cut out what was left of the floor so I can set it on the frame.Need to built new rockers and subrails.The roof have been filld some time in the past but the channel for the insert is still intact and sitting under the filling piece.The guy who did it must have cut out the channel, fill the roof and then put it back for reinforcement.Have´nt decided yet if I will keep the filld roof or open it up and install an cloth insert.Any way I have to split the roof when choping it.

 

Got the body on the frame today. Had to cut some in the firewall but when I´m filling it again it will look like stock only some wider recess to clear the distributor and heads.Think it got a nice tail dragging look only it´s too high in front.Gonna replace the front spring with a lower one.

 

Getting the body on the frame is when you see things, gonna be killer with lower springs in the front.
Keep the good work up...

 

Just could´nt resist.Had to mock up with fenders and skirts to get a glimpse. 2 inches lower in front will be great but the ass sits just right I think.

 

It is going to be a fine machine.....and yes it is setting right.

 

Can't believe I missed this thread, great custom! Keep up the good work!

 

Thanks Farmer 12. I´m watching your build to and it´s bad ass.Pretty cocky whith that hemi in it......Kenneth.

 

Nice

 

WoW! I have to follow the crowd, your work is superb and having it all dressed in a 36 coupe? Custom perfection!
Will love to see this finished, keep up the fine work.

Doc.

 

I'm not really a 36 fan ....unless they look like yours Kenneth!! Its gona be sweet like golden syrup!!

 

Very cool coupe! Outstanding craftsmanship so far! I'll be watching this one for sure!

 

Coming along real nice, Kenneth...looks awesome!

 

Your car is a legend in its own time.......

 

Looking good my friend, love that style. great work

 

Thanks a lot guys. You are all too kind.No updates today.We got some really nice weather and I´m gonna take the model-A for a spin instead.

 

Enjoy!!!!!!

 

Started today and try to clean this mess up.Both A and B posts looks like shit where they are supposed to attache to the frame.The rockers was totaly distroyed and replaced by some totaly wrong pieces.Have some new rockers from Bob Drake to start with and then I´ll try to build some new mountings for A and B posts. Have absolutly no clue of how it´s supposed to look like. If there´s anyone having some good shots of off these parts I´ll be very pleaced if they were posted here.Spend half of the day meassuring and trying to get the body sit right before fixing it up to the frame.Had to mount the running boards to have as reference.

 

I'm loving your build. Really top notch work. Do you happen to know what the part number is for those rockers they look real nice?
Cheers Aaron.
