Happy/sad day for my 36 Coupe that my father bought back in 1977. My wife and I have decided to move south to Florida and my cars are not making the trip. Sold the coupe and the new owner is picking up next Thursday. I have so enjoyed restoring, driving and telling people about out car...

Had our anual car cruise and show, two day event here in Bay City Michigan with all proceeds going to American Cancer Society. My 36 was one of 3 cars with Flatheads, out of 559. Actually had one guy who looked at my engine and said , what the heck is that! Told him it was the new Ford EV, plugs...

Went for a drive on a very windy day and my wiper arm came off is gone. Ordered a new unit for my 36 and not sure how it fits? Or is this the correct one for my car? Thanks in advance

Have cleaned my new running board covers but have a few gray areas and would like them to be more uniform, black . Was not wanting to put Armor All or something like that as its oily and would attract dirt. What is best to use for show appearance . Thanks

Have not had much to report lately, health issues have slowed me down some. Doing better now and the 36 is coming along nicely after its 8 year paint and interior make over. Only had two minor scratches today, my paint guy is not happy! lol..

So my 36 has had its tires since 2008, Coker radials with white walls. Its been sitting for eight years waiting for paint project to be finished. Now that its almost ready to get on the road for spring got me thinking, the tires are 12 years old even though they only have about 500 miles on...

Got the motor in back in June, interior has been next waiting for headliner to finish the job. running boards and fenders and lights and she will be legal for the road....Only problem, I live in Michigan and don't think it would be fun to drive in the snow!

Grille is on and now time for running boards and fenders. Taking my time and have a helper, don't want to scratch the new paint job!:eek:

So getting ready to order the headliner from Macs/ Cartouche and it said to measure in between the bows. I have wood and metal towards the back, how does the fabric adhere to those? I would assume that their instructions cover that but again looking for tips who have already gone down this road:)

Going to install a new headliner kit from Macs , Cartouche. On my 36 5 window coupe. Any suggestions and or tips will be much appreciated. Seat and door panels are good to put back in as is. Was going to have the interior redone but my LeBaron Bonney kit is still in great shape, had to remove...

Need a new headliner for 36 5 window coupe. Looks like Cartouche from Mac's is the only one offered? Had a LeBaron kit 10 years ago but all had to be removed for total paint project. Guess they are out of business? Thanks for suggestions as always.

Got my new vinyl from Macs to use on the top for my 36 coupe, any suggestions or tips on how to do this...sounds like a slow process. Thanks

Getting ready to assemble the front end and wondering what order things go back on. Sorry, its been almost eight years since i took it all apart. Inner fenders are on now I am bolting back the grill assembly, seem to be some holes that it shares bolts with the front fenders?

Trying to get my 36 running this morning but no luck. It has a Mallory 12v crab distributor electronic with a mallory power cell, balast resistor and starter solenoid. It worked fine 7 years ago when I pulled the motor for paint job. When cranking it has 10+ volts at the coil but no spark at the...

I have two sets of holes on the frame for mounting the radiator, does it make a difference on which one I use and how the grill bolts on? Picking up my grill assembly tonight. Seems like it was a tight fit before when I was removing my distributor. Thanks

Took the cable off seven years ago when starting my project and noticed today that I can't find the screw ring that holds the speedo cable to the drive shaft. Any idea on who might have a replacement part? So much for thinking of everything! lol.

My friend and I put the trans and motor back in today, happy day after 7 years waiting for the paint job. Question number one, is it possible to install the radiator then the grill assembly or reverse? Seems that the bolts that hold the fenders are hard to get at with the radiator in. Second...

Want to replace the rubber donuts on the hood rods that bolt from the radiator to the firewall. My car is a 36 coupe, Can't seem to find them, any idea on who might? Thanks!

Looking for pictures or a diagram of how the transmission and couplings go back on to the driveshaft on my 36 coupe. My great friend who built my motor and did the install moved to Florida and I don't have a clear photo of how it was:eek: Thanks so much for the help.

Sorry to bother everyone again on this but have misplaced the order sequence for putting my car back together after the paint project. Have rear fenders on now, is it running boards then fenders next? Car has been at the paint shop for 8 years, good things are worth waiting for! Also, what is...
