Customs 36 Ford Project

A lot better now... still need to replace the hinge to fix the sag

 

That door gap got 'right in town' with that strap-and-block operation! Nice goin'.
I've had a few '36es, miss 'em all...

 

Keep the updates coming.

 

Will do... I'm waiting on the frame webbing...so I can get the body back on the frame...
Things should move a little faster then.

 

You sure are doing some great work on her.....outstanding!

 

Powerglide adapter for x- member

 

Manual rack installed

 

The manual valve control valve I'm using.

 

Pulling a couple of dents on the tail end

 

Awesomeness.. I need to go back up there to Amarillo and spend a couple weeks hunting for early Fords.

@JJK - You lied. You said he was going to paint it titty pink with purple flames.

I'm never listening to you again.

 

The steering wheel and column I'm using.... needs some work but I really like the design:

 

"JJK - You lied. You said he was going to paint it titty pink with purple flames".

I have some "Fancy" 22" donk wheels too..... all in keeping with the streetrod motif

 

You removed the rear crossmember and didn't put anything back in? You might find a lot of twistyness in the frame without something substantial tying the back of the frame together. That small channel at the very rear is not enough. A crossmember that runs near your upper bag mounts and also ties to them would probably be best.

 

Yes...I want to test fit my tank before the rear crossmember is fabbed and installed

 

Putting the body back on for some test fitting:

 

Looks good!

Still need to trim some of the sheet metal out in the trunk area to clear the 4 link and shock mounts.
This should get the car down about 4" in back.

 

SHA WEEEET!

 

Looking really good!

 

Thank you all !!

 

Engine/ transmission test fit looked good.
Ready to remove the body, dial it in, and weld in the motor mounts:

 

@TexasSpeed Daryl told me once the billet wheels are mounted and the tv monitors installed he would worry about paint.

The body looks real good and you've done some great work. Keep after it! And, it looks like your moving pretty fast too.. Tim

 

Great work Daryl ! Hope to see it at round up! Subscribed!

Looks solid Daryl. I'm gonna tag along as well.

 

Thank you sir.. looking forward to seeing the 51 with the 2 link !

A friend gave me an original 36 tank a couple of weeks ago, when I opened it up it looked almost new inside.
So, here we are with the tank and the brake booster mounted:

 

Pretty productive day.. replaced parts of the rusted subrails that needed repair, got the motor mounts welded in, frame webbing installed, and the body back on the car...

 

Right rear fender is pretty bad.
Someone stick welded a piece of metal flashing over a gaping hole and then filled the area with lead.
I ended up cutting the whole section out : [/ATTACH]
