Hi there Can anyone post some pictures of the original rumble seat area for a 36 5w coupe?

How do I check electrically a 36 oil pressure gauge to see if it is working?

The one piece grilles are best for plating. The multi piece ones cannot be reliably plated as the chrome will not flow into the gaps between the parts. When fitting up the front end be prepared to move the soldered on brackets on sides of radiator to get grille and hood ornament to fit...

Thanks for the compliments.

A couple of you wanted some pictures of my flathead. I designed and fabricated the efi myself. It is not a copy of someone elses work. It runs very nicely. It uses an Aussie EMS computer , four Harley Davidson coils and a pair of Ford festiva throttle bodies that open progressively.

Thanks for the positive reports everyone. I really appreciate your help. I feel much more confident now. Some people just seem to want to bag everything, maybe they are just jealous.

I have just bought a set of Coker Classic 600 16 tires for my 36 coupe. Already Im hearing that they are not all that good. Does anyone have something good to say about them? Robert

Pat Why do you say a "new" can? Wouldn't an old one do the same job? Robert

I've seen the answer before on here but I can't find it now. What's the best way to get the stainless covers back on to my newly painted 36 hubcaps.

Walmart has them. This link might work?? Sorry just noticed "out of stock" I paid more than 16$ for it https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pyle-PLR14MPF-In-Dash-AM-FM-MPX-Dual-Knob-Radio-with-USB-Port-and-SD-Card-Reader/20551678

The gears are in the ratio of 3.4 : 1. so the big gear on the radio tuning shaft would be 34t and small gear on cable would be 10 or close to that. From memory the radio only cost about 60 or 70 dollars. [/IMG]

Hi Steve I did it this way in my 36. I used a "Pyle" brand radio I found on ebay that still uses knobs for tuning and volume. It also has USB connection. I made a small gear reduction so that the full sweep of the Ford dial would match the sweep of the new radios dial. You could do it without...

Has anyone successfully fitted lap/sash seatbelts into a 36 5w coupe. If so please give me some hints on how to do it as it seems tricky using the original bench seat. Thanks Robert

I think the 35 and early 36 coupes had a fixed seat back, as does mine, but in Australia there are many things that are different from the US models. We have difficulty knowing what is correct and I believe there are no old records held by Ford as the a lot of records were wiped out in a factory...

Thanks for your help everyone. Robert
