The Jalopy Journal
Stretch, I used a '37 box in my '36 that I posed photos of in this thread. I did not swap out the steering box frame mount for the later '37-'39,...
No icing issues from my side and I'm only 400' above sea level. I'm running mine direct; how do you like the progressive linkage?
I'm a Washington Blue fan too! If this one hadn't had so much character in that original black paint, I would have opted for Washington Blue.
Thank you!
Did a little photo shoot with the '36 recently. Always loved the lines of these cars. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thank you! It’s still a work in progress.
Love this thread and 35s/36s. Here’s mine I finished a couple years ago. Still making tweaks here and there; for example, I can’t decide if I want...
Took this one last night. Fall nights and college football are always more enjoyable in the garage. [ATTACH]
Update: Now that it’s getting cooler, it’s perfect driving weather for the Mehoopany Coupe. So far I’ve put about 1200 miles on the old girl since...
Found a couple of photos from when I was working on my ‘36 that show the package tray support in a 5W. The ‘35 should be similar if not the same....
Good looking ‘36. I like it ;)
Oh wow....I feel for you brother!! Funny thing is that it wasn’t the wife that sent me, she knows that would be an experience neither of us would...
Exactly, build em nice but not too perfect to enjoy! It’s a shame it took me 15 years to realize this. I’ve got some catching up of lost time to do.
HRP, you’re exactly right...this is why we build them. What’s ironic to me is that I rarely see others enjoying their cars as we describe, even...
Well, let’s say the trip to and from are enjoyable....there’s still the awkward smile when checking out. :oops:
The last couple of weekends have been rainy and messy; not good weather for doing much of anything. This weekend has been much nicer, so yesterday...
Thanks Stogy!
Thanks cvstl! I really appreciate the kind words. There are still some things I want to do; getting the wiper motor working and installing some...
Mehoopany Coupe experiencing her first fall since the early 70s. I’m enjoying the heck out of putting some miles on the old girl.
Just snapped this one today. [ATTACH]
Same '36 as I posted in the hood less thread. [ATTACH]

I too am a “nut and bolt” fanatic and am very leery of today’s hardware. My first restoration was 1950 Ford 8N and every nut and bolt was...
Finally got the turn signals on The Mehoopany Coupe wired up. I used a 49/50 Ford accessory turn signal assembly and two green jewels (located on...
New vinyl roof kit for a ‘35/‘36 Ford 3W or 5W. Kit contains the muslin, foam and cobra grain vinyl. Also included are the instructions, 3M...
Thank you! Still working on completing the details but it’s completely road worthy and I’m enjoying the heck out of it. Only took 3 years to get...
It was a cool 49 degrees this morning in Southern Virginia and no chance for rain; sounded like the perfect day to ”Drive your hotrod to work”. I...
Like @scrap metal 48, I’m running wide 5 16s all the way around. 5.50s in front, 700 rear. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
She now has her full hood. Still need to make some minor adjustments but the fit overall is pretty good considering I’m using a new Brassworks...
Today I turned my attention to the hood and grill. Installed the grill trim early this morning and began the polishing of the hood and side...
