With LeBaron Bonney and Cartouche gone I am faced with the tough task of figuring out what to do to for a stock interior on a 1936 3 window coupe that was completely gutted decades ago. There are of course a lot of detailed photos in many books which should be a lot of help. Another source of...

Thanks guys! Both Brassworks and US Radiator list original style radiators in their on line catalogs. Also thank you Alan for the useful info regarding stiffening the upper tank top surface to reduce the possibility of seam failure.

Does anyone know if there are any remaining suppliers of original style 1936 radiators? Or will if be necessary to find a decent used one and rebuild it? Thanks for any info!

I am wondering if anyone has patterns for all of the glass (including windshield) for a '36 3 window coupe. I saw the great reply and dimensioned drawings (10-13-2022) from senior member Don Rogers in the Early V8 forum regarding the 5 window coupe glass, and am wondering if something similar...

Thank you everyone - great info. rich b I should have known you would be the guy to provide the detailed dimensions! petehoovie thanks for blowing up the photo.

mercman from oz - Sorry, had a typo in the address of my first reply to you. Wanted to thank you for blowing up my sketch image and making it available without the need to open the pdf. hrs1948

36coupe- Thank you for your reply. I am not sure whether the '36 3 and 5 window coupe wood bows are the same. One of the suppliers I found uses a separate part number for each coupe model. Maybe one of the FB V8 wizards can tell us for sure! hrs1948

mercmsan from oz - Thanks very much for blowing up my sketch and making it available without the need to open the pdf. I could not figure out how to do that! hrs1948

Can anyone help me out with dimensional info for the roof insert wood bows for a '36 3 window coupe? I have attached a very rough sketch of a typical bow showing the dimensions I am after. I am not sure if all 3 of the bows are different so I have indicated the required dimensions for bows 1 to...

Thanks to all for the very helpful information!

Thanks to all for your very helpful information!

Thanks to all for the great info provided!

ssffnomad has got it right - you guys are good!! Thanks to all, and in particular to rich b for the incredible detail provided.

Terry,OH - Thank you - I guess the plywood has just discolored and resembles rusty steel. V8COOPMAN - Thanks for the informative pics!

Karl - Thanks for posting the super-informative photos and dimensioned diagram. Do you by any chance have similarly dimensioned photos of the pivoting backrest spring wood frame and/or seat cushion spring wood frame for a '36 coupe seat? That would also be great information.

Thanks for the info and photo. This one does look quite a bit different from others that have been shown on various older threads. A question - in your photo what looks to be one of the side pieces is behind the wood framework, and it appears to be steel sheet. Other posts have shown these...

johndee138 - Thanks for the suggestion. I will certainly give it consideration if things do not start to go better with the original seat plan. I have the opposite problem to you. I am built too close to the ground and will likely have to slide the seat as far forward as it will go!

Post #10!! - I have been as nice as can be expected of a crochety old Ford guy. Thank you V8COOPMAN for the help in getting me to 10 posts. Also thank you for the support you gave me re: my Bradley Floor Pans issue (loved your "enthusiastic exhortation" requesting Paul get on my floor pans order!).

Post #9 - No new snow forecasted for Christmas day, but a couple of inches called for on Dec 24. We already have enough for a white Christmas, but the new stuff will clean things up a bit.

Where I am in the mid-western Canadian prairies the high temp was -12C (10F), actually above average for this time of year. By Christmas Day, however, the high is expected to be -24C (-11F) with a low that night of -32C (-26F). That is because the Russians will have sent some "Siberian air" our...
