'36 Ford coupe old rod

[BIGTRUCK]

Decided on doing a 36 Ford hot rod from back in the day. This is not the current issue but the tires are, its one from early 2000 , it had some extra parts but only the stock roof. Skirts are parts box, front wheels are drilled for a 3 bar spinner and are also parts box. Using the flat head and just building as I go, really dont have much of a plan

Opened the roof and cowl, dropped some front and rear..

Lookin Good Ken!!! Its hard to beat the look of the old Hot Rods. They had a style about them that the new stuff will never have. Candy paint? Maybe a set of lakes pipes?

Mock-up and fitting done. Cut out a section of 58 Chevy grille for the front and sunk in stock 58 Chevy rear lights on the back. Added spot lights and sunken antennas..Now I can start assembly..

I like blue, but I see green being a better match on that one.

Like the grill treatment. 

Whats nice about using this grille shell is you can make it taller or wider or any design you want and pretty much you can alter another kit grille to fit..

Man, some satin purple with white scallops and some lakes pipes would scream "Valley cruiser" lol. But i like your choices too  dont see too many of these 32's done in lead sled fashion.... Its definitly different in a good way!
