~ '36 FORD 2-Door Sedan, " SLANTBACK " Hot Rod, Rat Rod ~ Just out of four-year dry storage and ready to be taken to the next level. Hot Rod resto was begun about six years ago and a ton of the hard work is already done. Body is in good condition with all steel sheetmetal. Roof insert has been nicely filled (steel) and full NEW Bitchin' Products steel floors installed and painted. Exterior painted in Hot Rod Black primer and will require final prep and paint (or not). Interior is bare - no carpeting, trim panels or headliner. Original bows/tack strips in good shape. Has all interior garnish moldings except those for the windshield. Back seat appears to be original. Split-back front bench fits well, but may not be original. Both seats need recovering. Good dash, nice uncut firewall. Glass is only in fair condition. The frame is solid and rust-free. It has late Flathead Ford hydraulic brakes, with a rebuilt '40 Ford brake & clutch assembly, new master cylinder, lines and hoses. New clutch disc. New TUBE shocks and mounts all around. NEW reproduction Gas Tank and Sender. Firewall-mounted Electric Fuel Pump. Later Flathead Ford closed driveshaft and banjo rear axle. Springs and suspension components are good. Steering is heavy and will need some attention. Stock, undroppped front axle. 15" steel wheels are believed to be from an older Jeep. The engine is a bone-stock '52 8BA FLATHEAD from a F-1 Pickup. It runs well but would benefit from a little freshening up after storage. The Transmission is a '39-style, Top Shifted Ford 3-Speed. The electrics have been converted to 12 volts via a new alternator. A single electric pusher fan ahead of the cleaned, original radiator helps with the cooling. Headlights converted to 12v sealed beams, new '39 Ford teardrop taillamps, TwinTone AUTOLITE snail horns mounted on the firewall, good battery with new battery box and cables, New oil, temp, and ammeter gauges. Original speedometer still works. No directional signals. New straight pipe Dual Exhaust (no mufflers) make it WAY too loud - A pair of SMITHY'S would help with that. Other new parts installed include the steering wheel, outside door handles and headlight trim rings. Close to hitting the road but still needs some sorting out. A great start on a rare body style Ford Hot Rod. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD "AS-IS, WHERE-IS". TRANSPORTATION IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HIGH BIDDER.
