1936 Ford Five Window Coupe Street Rod Restoration
|
November and December: The First Two Months My plan for this car is to get everything cleaned up, finish the interior, and get her mechanically sound before next summer. Interior Panels First things first some of the interior panels were never mounted to the car, and have become deformed over the eight years in storage. As you can see from my high tech solution, I was able to add a little weight, and have gravity slowly restore the two rear side panels to their proper shape. However, the weight of the rear speakers bent the rear back panel to almost at a 90 degree angle. I don't think the rear panel is useable, we will see, only time will tell. |

Sound Proofing The Floor
I was only able to drive this car for maybe two
hours at the most before putting it away for the winter. The first
thing you notice when driving her is the tire noise from the 33 inch
slicks. Hopefully HushMat
will solve this noise problem, as you can see I have covered the whole
floor with the sound damping product. I guess we will have to wait until
spring to see if it was worth it.

Aluminum Parts
Restoration
I thought the aluminum wheels and engine were
corroded beyond repair. However, after a little Mothers brand aluminum
cleaner and a lot of polishing, WOW! See before and after photos
below.
