Dan
Nice work. Can you tell us a little about the process and equipment you used to do the painting of the components/firewall. Thanks |

Beautiful job Dan, your '36 really has "the look". I'm just starting the process of doing much the same to a '40 coupe.

Re: ~~DirtyDan's 1936 Ford Coupe Project - Build Pictures~~
Nice job Dan, good looking 36. I'm curious about your rear end set up and what if any adapters were used to run the 40 wheels. I'm doing a 36 2-dr and wanting the same look.
Thanks' |

I've done some work to the car since this was posted. I lowered the rear end a bit and added some 1940 Ford accessory inner trim rings to the wheels. I also moved the rear bumper in with some shorter bumper brackets, since it was way out there with the spare tire removed. The car is currently at the upholstery shop getting a complete new interior. I'll post some updated pics when it gets back in a few weeks. I should have the grille changed by then as well. I picked up a original chrome grille to replace the poor fitting aftermarket unit. |

Re: ~~DirtyDan's 1936 Ford Coupe Project - Build Pictures~~
Dan, beautiful car! Am doing something similar, I have a '36 Tudor that will have an 8BA but a 4 speed top loader. Could you give me a little detail as to how you got the T-5 tail shaft to fit thru the center cross member? In the photos it looks like you retained the stock cross braces going to the center section. I thought these would be removed if you replace the entire cross member & replaced with something else. I see CE offers a kit to replace cross member but looks like would be very difficult to do with the body on or without cutting the floor. Were you able to do this without removing the body?

I like the accessory caps Dan. And I was just going to ask you if you had done anything with the new grille when I saw the thread pop up.
I have new paint and new interior now. I'm not posting pics until after our show on Saturday though.

Re: ~~DirtyDan's 1936 Ford Coupe Project - Build Pictures~~
I had to, yours looks too nice!
That was always the plan, but I'm sure lots of people will be shocked. It was just the fenders and decklid for now but I did get new chrome bumpers.

Re: ~~DirtyDan's 1936 Ford Coupe Project - Build Pictures~~
A little update:
The 36 is finally at the point where I can say it is damn near done... they are never really done, but its close. I still have to clean up some wiring and have the original gauges rebuilt. I drove it to the NSRA Nationals in Louisville KY, putting nearly 700 miles on the car in the process without issue. Ran around 70-75 mph the whole way. Who says you can't drive a flathead powered car. The first big change was the interior. I really didn't plan on having the interior done until after driving it this summer, but my upholstery guy had an opening, and he is getting enough customers that you gotta grab it when it becomes available. I tried to find a color that would complement the wood grain and settled on a "Cinnamon" ultra leather material, and "Bronze" Square weave carpet. I am really happy w/ the results. BEFORE: AFTER: |
