love it !!! paint ...engine ...looks great

mybe n idea for the grille , use the surround from the kit , cut out all the middle untill you only have the outside of the kitgrill , paint that bodycolor and cut the p/e grille to size of the hole and glue that in from behind .. could look awsome ??

 

just a brainfart ....

 You might be on to something Richard.  Might have to try that on my next 36.  Thanks for the idea.

Looks real good. I like the green you chose. I also am a big fan of chrome reversed wheels with wide whites, which look great on this car!

Quell as much as I liked the "Fuel Spider" even though it technically wasn't correct it was plausible, that's what I really look for; is it plausible?  Yeah it was, it showed some good imaginative skills to go from concept to producing a thing that might actually work.

what if you took the "Fuel Spider" and trimmed it back enough to attach flexible fuel line to the hard line from the spider then to the correct fuel inlet on the carburetors, if you can pull it off you'd have a winner especially on a Custom.

I'm watching this one with interest, I have one in the build line to build for myself once I finish up with about five more "other people's" builds!  I've been collecting ideas from the recent round of '36's being built lately, yours has some really nice ideas.  

I'm looking at something similar to the '36 Roadster that Rod & Custom did back in the early '70's (just before they went out of print the first time). I think it was one of Spence Murrey's projects, they used an AMC crate motor, probably use either a flathead or small block Chevy instead, R & C used a LaSalle grill and fabricated surround, which I've already collected parts for.  Incidentally they also used chrome reverse wheels and white walls just like yours, classic look!

Here's a teaser shot of the finished product.  Once I get outside pics, I'll add them to the under glass section.

Very nice!

Has come out great. Well done

[JustanotherKiwi]

Gimme the keys please mate, I'll bring you back a Sixer!?

Love it, 36 fords are just so graceful looking, the guys that designed it nailed the curves, probably my favourite early to mid 30's Ford.

It's a pity you couldn't get the P/E grill to work, but it looks great non the less.  I do love a nice '36.

By the way, did you chop the top or did the kit come this way?

Thanks gentlemen.  This was my first 36 and now I've had to stock up because I have different versions in mind.

Johann - I didn't do the chop.  The newer release allows you to build it one of three ways.  Chopped seemed like the obvious way to go.

[DumpyDan]

Awesome build, looks so coooooooooool!

I couldn't agree more.

Jeesh, this looks great!

I thought I was looking at a real car when I first looked a this photo. It turned out great.  Nicely done!

Thanks Greg and Dave. 

[Misha]

Now that's a winner! The colour, stance, bumbers, and tire and wheel combination really make it sing. Great job Joel, thanks for sharing your build.

Cheers Misha

Looks sweet! Did the wheels and tires come with the kit? 

[JTalmage]

Gorgeous! What color did you use?

Reminds me of my red '36 very much!

[James2]

I like just fine!

[crazyrichard]

[Dogfish_7]
