Projects 1935 Ford 3 Window Coupe

I day dream about finding cars like these. As I walked through grass almost 6' tall in the back of a property owners yard I came across these 3 really cool 1935 Fords. One is a complete but rough 1) 35' 3 window coupe 2) the back half of another 3 window coupe ( for replacement panels) and 3) the front half of a 1935 sedan. All of the cars are needed to make one good car.

I have mostly been building my 1940 mercury coupe quietly and collecting and selling parts and cars to pay for tools and parts for my car...but I'm going to do whatever I can to keep this car and build it. I would like to find a pair of 35-36, 3 window coupe doors and a good set of rear fenders? I have both but need work.

This is gonna be a big project

It's a big project, but well worth it! Hope you have those coupes home by now. Keep posting your progress on this great find.

 

Sounds like a fun project actually. I hope you do a build thread.

 

You've got work to do...

 

Neat project !

Jim Sibley would have all 3 driving by August.

 

Damn, I hope they were free. Makes me feel a whole lot better about my 32 sedan.

 

That's a 3fer deal. Good luck on the project.

 

Poor old thing.

 

I believe 3W fenders and doors are unique, so you will probably end up fixing what you have. Or spend a lot of money for replacements that may not be much better. A good metal guy can save those fenders.

Nice score though, 35-36 3W are one of my favorites.

 

all coupe, roadster, cabriolet's & club cabriolet's use the same rear fenders, just year specific.

 

Nice score! Good luck with the project.

 

Keep the updates coming.

 

Very cool find!

 

It'd be hard to contain the overwhelming excitement coming upon those things. Great find!

 

Thanks guys, I'm trying to decide what I'm doing with it....
Here are better pics

Lucky.

 

Great find! Hope you have room to store everything. Look forward to following the build. Bob

 

Looks like a great project! Im gonna build one with no 3 window parts so I think you have lots to work with!

 

Great find! Looking forward to your build!

 

Just find some 2 door sedan doors and move the 3 window tops on to them. Same with the rear fenders, just find some sedan ones and use the trash coupe fenders to convert them for coupe use.

 

Awesome find Shawn, It will be well worth the time to build. Ill keep an eye out on parts for you man...

 

nice find

 

Cars home now and maybe enough parts for two 3W coupes. Thank you guys that have educated me. NOT FOR SALE.

Any part from a 3w can be made into a complete 3w. If you got the 3 to me that make 3 3w, not 2 not 1.
I had parts of a roof, door tops, trunk lid and gutter all very rough (it actually came from a car I built and replaced those), I traded it for a cowl and doors from a 32 tudor to a buddy of mine whose got a 36 sedan to convert.
My advice would be build your car and anything that's left can be resold even if it's just for pattern.

 

Dude, that's a killer start. All you need is a few sheets of 18gauge and the patience of Job, and you're driving.

 

19 gage is what they were stamped out of.

 

Well after lots of though about building it I'm regretfully going to sell it all. I am going to try and sell all together first and if no luck I will part it out

Don't do it

 

Bummer, Shawn. I was looking forward to seeing another '35 project come together on the other end of town! Oh well, a guy can't keep them all I suppose....
