Features The official 1935-1936 Ford (3w- 5w) Coupes thread !

Thank you! It’s still a work in progress.

 

Yep... Standard wide fives in front, Ford accessory "Farm Implement" wide fives in back. They're an inch wider. Hard to find now, the circle track boys used them all up. They were called "Manure Spreaders"

 

Let’s see some more!

 

This little wayward project came back to me after a number of years. She is currently in a million pieces and will be finished summer or so.



-Abone.

 

I posted mine once in this thread a while back but I guess I should update it since it’s been chopped since then. Work done by Brandon at East Bay Speed And Custom.

chop looks great.... I keep getting a nudge from my buddy to chop mine... if the interior wasn't done and the garnish molding chromed ... it would happen... Fulton Feathers ! lucky guy

 

Here's mine . Skirts are at the painters and will get trimmed like the hood louvers

 

Well, it's sorta like a coupe, when the top is up...and it certainly shares those same "blind spots" as a 3 Window

 

keep it to 3w & 5w 35-36 Coupes. sorry..

 

35’ 5W , soon up for sale

 

Finished and now on the road...

 

Just starting on a 36’ 3W.
283, T5, 9”
Came to me with parallel rear leaf kit, CE split wishbone kit & CE motor mounts.
Could someone please give me a measurement from front of frame back to leading edge of motor mounts ?

Glad this popped back up! Too bad many of the older pics are gone.

Be careful out there...

 

This is the one that took kind of a detour along the way.



But, she is all done now.



-Abone.

 

She left you , then came back ?
Awesome look .

Yea, kinda. I sold the car half done to a buddy of mine, but after a while, he realized he didn't have the time for a full on project, so she came back to me.

-Abone.

 

Can somebody tell me if the doors on a 5 window are the same dimensions as a fordor ?
I have heard that to be true but would like some other opinions . thanks

 

You have to trim the top of the 4dr edge as shown on the attached photo

 

glad to see more 35-36 Coupes... keep on posting your rides or friends ...

 

OK I see , I have two door sedan doors . It looks like I have to shorten them 6-7 inches , correct ?

 

My Turdy Six Coupe.

 

Ole Saphire from about 11 years ago

 

And more than a little confused. As looking at pictures here on HAMB. Some guys have SB Chev Chassis Engineering Mounts on top of frame, and some have them under top lip of frame.

283 / T5 set in with CE motor mounts on top of frame for now.
Hopefully tomorrow or Saturday morning some help stops by , so can set Body on Frame to check Engine / Firewall clearance.

A 36 coupe I bought when I was 16 ,,,$60 ,,complete but no motor or trans ,,,50 years ago ,,,traded out for 32 parts ,,,thought I knew good ,,,

 

Looking for a little help.
Starting with a 35’ Coupe , putting on 36’ sheet metal & grill.
I have original radiator support rods maxed out . Original Radiator.
Hood matches to Cowl and Grill pretty close .
Car did not come with a original 36’ hood ornament. It came with a Drake repro .
I have Drake repro hood ornament snug on top of radiator.
Got the bottom ornament holes centered good and grill up close to bottom of it .
BUT, the ornament holes are out ahead of grill holes by 1/4” to 3/8” .
Have any of you have trouble with 36’ Drake repro hood ornament ?
Any suggestions ?
Thanks, Stretch

 

Good luck on the project @ssffnomad ... I have heard of issues with the Drake Bull Nose repro's for 36's not fitting.
It was a bitch but my guy got it to line up and fit nice finally... I'm sure the V8 Drake Hood Ornament is the same issue.. maybe someone has a tip for you here... be patient someone will chime in

 

rob - thanks.
BTW, your black 36’ 3W is awesome
