Here ya go... just got her back from the paint shop. Color's a custom mix I call bright red. Course it looks a little different under fluorescent light.

My daily summer driver. All steel 2 door humpback, 90% untouched original, very interesting to maneuver in traffic and side streets - I have to be a very defensive driver, the 85 horse engine doesn't respond like the newer cars, nor do the mechanical brakes. Unfortunately for me, this car will be for sale in the spring. I will miss it.

Here is one I worked on summer of 2010, belongs to a fellow who rejects the internet. I found he couldn't drive it because the battery wouldn't crank it over (still 6 volts) and his expert buddies told him it had some sort of voltage draw in the dash wiring killing the battery. They even installed a Battery cutoff and that didn't change a thing. After 3 years of talking to the old fellow, I finally got him to let me run a couple tests. After fully charging the Battery, one single crank revolution and then nothing. I did a voltage drop test on the wire from Starter to Frame and got a 1.5 volt drop. I ran a temp Main Cable from the Starter bolt directly to the Battery, and it cranked like a dream, every time. I even left the Battery cut-out ON over 3 days, and when I came back over to his place, he got in the car reached over to turn it on and I stopped him and said it's been on for 3 days, lets see if it cranks, and it did, perfectly. So I then flushed the cooling system, and replaced the main fuel line that ran right over the Exhaust Pipe in the old battery box, did some brake work, re-doing work that some goof-ball did wrong (it was converted to juice brakes), rebuilt his Master cylinder and replaced the rear wheel cylinders, changed the brake shoe positions so primary and secondary shoes were in the correct position, (they were backwards...), Replaced a completely plugged Left Front Brake flex that allowed for rapid Right Turns without steering wheel assist. He is pretty happy now.

Love seeing all the pictures of the 36 Fords guys......I think most of the models are covered in this thread. My family and I would also like to contribute.......Here are photos of our 1936 ford Seibert ambulance that was actually a gift from Edsel Ford to a private school here in Connecticut. It got a cosmetic restoration in 1994 when it was returned to it's original colors. It has under 70000 original miles. Also enjoy a photo of our 1936 Ford Cunningham Town car. These custom bodied fords were produced in very limited numbers between 1935 and 1937 in New York. This car is in original condition and was formerly part of the Harrah's automobile collection in Las Vegas. It was also the car I used for my wedding....2011 is the 75th anniversary of the 36 so get em out and show em boys!
