Projects 36 ford coupe build started

I am on it...I will be contacting you in the near future for a front spring, a rear sway bar, and trailer hitch! Thanks !!!

 

Bought a very nice original front clip from threewindaguy this weekend. My plan is to have my coupe running for the 40th Unique Tin show ,in Longview,next year and the Billetproof drags...I'm on my way!!!

 

Another one in the progress.Currently more 36´s than dueces on here I like it.Keep it going.

 

Looks like you're heading in the right direction, keep up the good work.

 

Wow thats really really sweet dude!

be sure and document how you repair those rear wheel wells for us dreamers, i'm at that stage with my 40 ford coupe and would love to see how you get past this. 36's are sure easy to look at!

 

Wonderful job resurrecting that one.

I am dreading (and thus putting off) the same process on my '36 flatback.

Happily mine is not quite so far gone as yours was, but it will likely be quite the project.

Glad to see guys going to such lengths to save these model years, seems the 36's and 37's are starting to draw quite the following.

 

cool subscribed

 

I'm interested in your fender conversion as well, that could open up a supply of 5 window fenders. Are the differences subtle like the 35 to 36 or is the contour all wrong ?

 

I just got a decent coupe fender and I have a perfect sedan fender, ill be doing the conversion soon. My plan is to make fullsize bucks with hole locations. There are more differences than width, these will come to light with a proper pattern to compare. Im stoked your build is back on jim...

Moven on up!!!

 

For what its worth, my understanding is 3 and 5 window coupe, roadster, and cabriolet use the same rear fenders. Sedan fenders are narrow compared to a coupe family rear fenders. Seems they trimmed the mounting section back to clear the wider wedge shape rear on a sedan. I have also noticed the peak is not as well defined on a sedan fender...but they are what I have and I am making them work. The rear fender in picture above was/is a sedan fender.

 

I like where this is heading! Keep it up!

I am looking forward to learning what you find. I know they can be made to work. A-holes want way too much for mediocre parts. Take care dude!

 

390 cad will be back from machine shop before the end of the week.

 

I keep at it.

 

So this where I am at in the mock up. Will be doing final patches and then it will be time to start bolting parts together.

 

I want to add to the pile. just picked these up last weekend.

 

Looking good. Awesome stance!

 

Damn Jim, that thing is looking good! Can't wait to see it finished.

Even though mine has the opposit stance I love the way your sits.

 

Looking awesome Jim!

How much tire have you got on the back in that pic?

good to see you're still at it! that stance is mean!

 

Somehow missed this thread entirely. Caught up now though and subscribed. Great work.
These 36s look good as both customs or rods. Just plain cool either way.

looking good. i love 36 ford coupes

 

Wow! That is better than what I have started with! The dent in the roof above the 1/4 window on the black on reminds me of damage that was on Nate's coupe. Nice score!

 

Thanks! Those tires are 7.00-18 bias plys.

 

Thanks Nate. It will likely sid a bit higher up front when done. I am going to be over there(west side everett) for thanks giving. Maybe I can sneak a peak at you progress???I will text you.

 

Looking great Jim.

 

What's happened to this build????
