Default Finally, pics of my '36 5 window

Worked on it over three years, and finally got it finished last summer. Drove it a couple thousand miles cruising and several car shows. Won a trophy at every show. Last fall on the way home from a cruise night a small deer ran into the driver's door and broke the mirror, cracked the window and dented the door, so I'll have to take the door off and so some repairs. It's a fun car to drive. Motor is a '36Lb, all eight holes sleeved and then bored .040, Potvin Super 3/4 cam, S10 4 speed, 9 inch rear end with 2.75 ratio (2000 rpm @ 60mph), 2 1/2 dropped front axle with Wilwood disc brakes. I bought the body sitting on a frame, no running gear, motor, rear fenders, firewall cut out with torch and half the floor the same, scrounged all the parts and did all the work myself except the upholstery and the machining of the block. Couldn't have done it without all the education I've received from the Fordbarn. Rod
