Vehicle Description
This 1936 Ford custom roadster's ground-up restoration was
completed in November 2018. Its body is composed of fiberglass with
steel fenders, running boards, grille and hood sides. The grille
has been sectioned 1", leaned back 5" and the back cut off. The top
of the grille plate and grille were shaped into one piece. The
one-piece hood has been extended and sloped in front and re-peaked
with custom hood side panels. The front fenders are welded into one
piece, all holes filled, lowered 1-1/2" on the body and fitted with
1937 Ford headlights. The front fender wheel wells have been cut
out 1-5/8" and reshaped. The rear fenders have been lengthened and
re-peaked with flush-mounted taillights, and the rear pan below the
rumble seat has been smoothed out and reshaped. It has
suicide-style doors with hidden hinges, reinforced door jambs, a
custom curved windshield, custom-made removable hardtop and the
running boards have been modified with a slight curve. The license
plate is recessed and molded into the body. The car has nerf bars
in the front and rear that serve as bumpers. This custom roadster
is equipped with Heidts Mustang II front suspension, TRW rack &
pinion steering, and an 8" Ford powder-coated rear end with
parallel leaf springs and a 4" drop lowering plate. It's powered by
a high-performance 5.0-liter 8-cylinder crate engine mated to a
Ford C4 automatic transmission with a B&M shift kit. The engine
has been outfitted with polished aluminum pulleys and valve covers,
polished alternator, polished high-flow water pump, four Weber 44
DF carburetors, polished manifold, polished billet-aluminum air
cleaner, Sanderson headers and modified electronic ignition. The
interior is covered in black Swedish Glove leather, including the
rumble seat, and features custom-made seats, Mercedes nylon carpet,
GM tilt steering column, Billet Specialties steering wheel, custom
air conditioning and a custom-made dash that extends into the door
panels. It also features a custom instrument panel with VDO gauges,
and a Kenwood radio with CD player and six speakers.
