1936 Ford Coupe - update 2/9

I would use the smaller line to feed the carbs from the fuel block and the bigger line from fuel pump to filter to fuel block. Basically reverse the sizes you used the first time lol. Just keep in mind on a 1:1 there would also be throttle linkage running down the driver's side of all carbs as well as the fuel lines. I hope this helps!

That colour looks awesome Joel

Thank you guys.

Thanks Tom. I'd be happy to make you a copy of them. These came right from the repop of the 36 Ford so I avoided the Alclad work.

Some PE stuff is easier to polish thank others. For this one, if you notice the first two pics of the grille you can see where I put the tape. I taped it to my bench on all four sides before cutting it out. Then took my steel wool and rubbed up and down following the spokes on the grille. 2-3 minutes later, I added some steel polish and that was the end result. Will probably rub it some more once I glue it on.

The other thing is to fold your steel wool up tight so it doesn't have too many loose edges that will catch the PE parts. But I know what you mean. I folded up entire sets when I started to work with polishing PE parts.

The flat black he mentioned is the primer.

Looking good Joel! That's a nice green for this and that grill will make it even better than it was already going to be!

No, you read right. I do 3 coats. For me it helps ensure full coverage. Light coats of each, all from Walmart spray cans. Then Alclad chrome with the airbrush. Theres no reason why you couldn't just use gloss black and the alcald only. These 3 coats for me allow me to sleep at night, knowing the chrome wont be less shiny on one side, etc.

Did the hood fit correctly before or was this the first time it's been on the car? The black and silver charger I built had a similar problem with the driveline, somehow everything fit where it was suppose to, but when you put the radiator the fan kept hitting the radiator. I ended up have to drill out the radiator almost all the way through to get it to fit. At least with that its more concealed. Is it possible that the grill is too wide compared to the stock one, causing it to stick out further?

Could the edges on the body be reshaped slightly to pull it back?

I'm not sure I'd know how to do that Les.

That makes sense, Jesse. I got the same feedback in another forum. Ok. Will have to use the kit supplied one.

That's sitting nicely,

Cool color Ice, it looks great with the chrome steel wheels and the whitewalls! Can't wait to see more!

Thanks everyone. This ones coming along nicely. The interior won't be too detailed since you won't be able to see it much because of the chop.

cool joel but ya might be able to lean it in then again never was big on the photo etch parts either way should be pretty cool when finished
