First of all, I would like to thank you for the great show you have. I enjoy watching the different projects you do.
My project is a 1936 Chevy 4-door Deluxe Sports Sedan; which I started in 2012 after the car sat in the yard for 30 years. As my retirement project although challenging at times, it has been a lot of fun. Especially, now that I can drive it.
The project started by removing all the wood out of the four doors and replacing with sheet metal, adding power windows and powered the rear wing windows for the dog of course! Pulled the old 6-cylinder 206.8 cu Stovebolt motor out and three speed with drive shaft and rear end. Pulled the body off and cleaned the frame. Then replaced the rotted-out floor boards along with powering and heating the original front bench seat. Added a Helix Mustang II front end with power rack then went to the rear and put in a triangulated four link on the 10 bolt Posi Nova rear-end and finished painting. Repaired and filled holes in the firewall and painted. Put the body back on and fit the 350 Chevy motor with 350 turbo transmission. Fit a custom-built radiator and got it running. I fabricated and mounted the sun visor. Onto the body work; priming and painting with my wife’s help keeping the stripe straight and design right.
Bought Speedhut gauges with GPS speedometer and installed. Then came the wiring; wow that got my attention! Used Painless Wiring Kit, which saved a lot a grief. I added an Old Air A/C and heater. I modified the dash for defrost vents, which the car did not have. Making it better for Alaska conditions. Currently working on upholstery and adding extras.
This is a resto-rod and will probably always be modifying. Fun project and it drives excellent. Thanks for the chance to show my project to you. Always a smile on my face while driving.
