New 36 Ford Owner! 6 Attachment(s)
Just picked up a new project
abondoned 15 years project ton's of receipts what do you guys think. |
Re: New 36 Ford Owner! Cool project, so what are your plans?, I always wanted a '36 like my dad owned but could not afford one.
|
Re: New 36 Ford Owner! Congrats, put it together and drive it, don’t be like me.i started to fix things and it’s been sitting forever. It looks really nice

Re: New 36 Ford Owner! Johnny, looks like you've got the makings of a "head turner" at the cruise ins and at "coffee and cars"!! If the drive train is pretty complete and your front suspension is in place, you should have a driver in no time. Keep us posted!
Welcome to the Barn. |
Re: New 36 Ford Owner! Finish the paint and assembly - get it on the road and enjoy it . . . then start to ponder your "next plan" for where you want to take it. Don't make the mistake of starting down a big "change this, change that" path - or you'll just stall the enjoyment phase. :)
As it is obviously a modern style streetrod type of build - won't make a lot of financial sense to attempt to take it back to the vintage route, so enjoy it for what it is and get out on the road. I love 36's - hope to someday own a 36 roadster! |
Re: New 36 Ford Owner! Nice, glad to see another one saved.............
|
Re: New 36 Ford Owner! looks like fun. i bought a 5w in nov. and am waiting on the engine rebuild. tough to wait, thats for sure.

Re: New 36 Ford Owner! I thought the H.A.M.B. was for this??? Why post on a "mostly" original site???
|
Re: New 36 Ford Owner! Nice car! Perfect place to post pictures, JMHO.

Re: New 36 Ford Owner! If he changes the wheels to steelies with vintage looking hubcaps the coupe looks pretty stock to me. I imagine there are a ton of non-flathead powered car owners that enjoy this site.
Unfortunately the HAMB discriminates against "street rods" - whatever that means. Looks like a great and simple project - enjoy. |
Re: New 36 Ford Owner! I understand fully rockfla's comments above relative to this forum. I'm a Flathead guy and would never have built that '36 the way it was done before johnnyford bought it.
That said, that's what he has and he's excited about it and being here on the Fordbarn. The '36 coupe is an icon and there should be a place where he can come with questions about the "original" aspects of his car. Questions about the SBC...if that's what's in it and I couldn't be sure from the photo....this is not the place. Just my two cents!! |

That being said... if he intends to at least re-do the interior to a stock look or has questions related to body & trim.. by all means post here... I was at a truck show yesterday in Perris, CA.. I had to cringe every time I saw a streetrod claiming to be a "1940"... "53".. "34"... etc... nothing but the shell was of the time period.. but then saw some original trucks, restored to original specs.. a thing of true beauty! |
Re: New 36 Ford Owner! windshield frame looks great. I wonder where it's from.
|
Re: New 36 Ford Owner! A newly obtained project car has a lot of potential to be brought back to an original look. Who knows what direction the new owner will take. Pictures are cool. Just my humbled "opinion." Just sayin!!

A couple of you guys don't have a clue what the H.A.M.B. is about. It is NOT about " bellybutton" Chevy small blocks, nor is it about cheesy, cheap-ass, fake mag wheels. Electric fans need not apply, either. DD |
