Project getting close to the finish line
 

Have not had much to report lately, health issues have slowed me down some. Doing better now and the 36 is coming along nicely after its 8 year paint and interior make over. Only had two minor scratches today, my paint guy is not happy! lol..

Wow that looks great, can’t wait until you get it on the road.

Tom that is a great looking coupe, it is a great felling when things get fired up and on the road again.

Lets see what's under that shiny blue hood, I see lots of bling:D

Tom, Your 1936 Ford Five Window Coupe is coming along very nicely. Keep up the good work.

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

I hate to be repetitive, but that does look great!

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

Looks Great!!!!.....happy to hear your feeling better !!!....... Mark

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

I'm kind'a liking that "atomic" blue. I also like white '80-'82 Vettes! DD

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

We did the motor a few years ago, 3/4 race cam, Johnson lifters, merc crank and hexagon tool intake. She runs fine, nice and lopey but still has good take off. Mark Kirby helped with some parts many years ago, RIP....

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

Wow!!

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

exactly...a perfect example of why you keep a Flathead under the hood and not one of those all too common ugly orange 350 things.

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

Gorgeous car, I love the color

Re: Project getting close to the finish line

Re: Project getting close to the finish line

SWEET RIDE. Great job.

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

Looks so nice! It's going to get scratches, something I've come to grips with. It'll get dusty, things will rust. Entropy. Looks really nice! Have fun!

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

Beautiful, best of luck with it

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

Yowza; absolutely gorgeous. The contrast of the exterior and
engine colors is beautiful. I'm green with envy.....
(And that stellar grille is making my jeans tight.)

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

36s are sharp, yours is outstanding. You must have a great amount of patience.

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

Round two, driver side board and fender then its time to roll! Its amazing how much size difference on my tires was. 700-16 and 550-16 on the fronts.

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

Only part left is a new rubber mat for the front floor interior. Thinking black this time instead of beige. Thanks to all for kind words and help over the years!

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

Looks like it came off the floor of a vintage show. Nice!

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

W O W !!! Gett'n your kicks with that SWEET 36. Right on the money & sweeter than honey ! That engine belongs in my living room ..........

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

One more for the group, interior is done except floor mat. It was a LeBarron Bonney kit from ten years ago. Was going to change it but was in great shape and really matched the blue color nicely .

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

I like the T-Bird "loose wheel support stand":rolleyes: Is that Gold Metallic or Tawney beige?

Your 1936 Ford Five Window Coupe is looking great. Lovely workmanship.

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

39Portlander, Beachwood beige Brown metallic on the bird. My dad got it new in 1960! i put the tires gently against the car! lol

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

Tonights work was a bear, driver side fender did not want to fit right! Three hours later all good. Next up, get the hood lovers on and she is ready to dance!

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

hood louvers! too tired to type LOL

Lovely. Looking very good.

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

‘58-‘60 T-birds are my favorites! It’s great that you’ve had it in the family all this time!!..... Mark

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

What a beauty Tom! Me, being partial to blue, I love it!

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

Tom,
Unbelievable work you have done on the 36! I really enjoyed your pictures. Wait let me wipe the drool off the screen!
Looking forward to the finish and first ride shots.
Regards,
Chris

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

I have a couple of videos of the exhaust and engine running but not sure how to post those? Anyway, this is a picture of me with the car in 1977, the day we drove her home. Just an 18 year old kid with long hair...now mostly gray! :eek:

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

The last parts to go on, hood with side louvers....glad I had help tonight. Tricky to do and not scratch any paint! Now discovered a leaky wheel cylinder so replacing both fronts and then will be good to roll!

Re: Project getting close to the finish line
 

What a SWEET RIDE!!! I hope you have tons of fun with it...….
