HI

Let me walk around the 36 and tell you a little about it. First of all, it is a good looking chop. It is not apparent that it is chopped when you look at the car, besides it looks really cool. Inside the door jambs, garnish moldings, and exterior of the car; it looks like the car came that way from Ford. The way the car is set up, it is very comfortable to sit in ( I am 6 feet / 230 pounds ), and the visibility looking through the windows with the chop is not restricted at all, it feels like it is supposed to be that way, not overly chopped with bad visibility. When you are sitting in the driver seat, you can adjust the electric 4-way power seat, with no binding, or funny noises. The seat has a large range of adjustments. There is tons of headroom in the car, I could wear a cowboy hat if I was inclined to.

The tilt steering wheel puts the steering wheel where it would be best for you. All of the gauges work. There is good oil pressure at idle at operating temperature. The dual electric fans keep the water temperature in a good range. The voltmeter shows the charging system charging at 13.2 volts with the lights on. The tachometer and speedometer also work correctly. The two dome spotlights work on either side of the main light. The lighter on the bottom of the dash does work for your charger etc. There are no turn signals on the front of the car, but there are rear turn signals. The headlights and taillights/running lights and brake lights do work properly. The car starts right up every time, nice and easy. There are switches in the dash for the power windows and the electric rumble seat opener. All of these work smoothly and without binding or strain. The a/c system is all there, but not charged. There is no heat in this car, but there is space to easily add it if you wanted to have heat or talk to us about the add. Both doors open and close nicely. The outside handles are shaved, and there is a hidden button to roll the drivers window down to gain access to the car, once you know where the hidden button is, it is easy to access it.

We have a full hood and hood sides, see the pics, for the car. They are easily added and removed for the look you like. I prefer the hood off look, to see the cool Cal Custom valve covers and engine. But the hood is easily put on by one person with no skills for weather, or the look you like in a matter of minutes. There is an interior hood release, so when the hood is on and closed, all is secure. The hood and sides all line up well when installed.

The body of the car is straight. The car was on a magazine cover at one time. The car had a nice gloss pink paint job on it before the previous owner satin blacked the car out. The car was carefully lightly block sanded by hand, to keep the car straight for the repaint. So there is a nice easy base to repaint the car if you wanted to do that ever. This is NOT the typical rough satin blacked beat wavy body that is associated with most satin cars.

When you walk around the car it looks solid and good. It also looks solid under the car. Check all the pictures out. The chrome dropped straight axle is super cool. Way cooler than modern independent suspension. It has the right look and feel, what should be there.

. The chrome rear four link makes the car hook up and drive very very nicely. The stainless fuel tank gets rid of rusty gas issues. We just put brand new bushings in the suspension, front and rear.

Let’s go for a drive. The car fires right up with no puff of smoke. It sounds great, a nice tone, but not too loud. The car rides nice down the road. There are no funny noises from the engine, trans, or rear. It cruises nicely at 70 miles per hour. When I stomp it to the floor off the light, the engine sounds great and the transmission does not slip, it shifts just as it should through the gears and shift points. When I slam the brakes on the car stops straight.

There is also a hidden kill switch on the outside of the car for extra security. There are no leaks in the car. No big oil puddles, no leaking radiator, the oil looks good, the coolant looks good. The transmission fluid looks and smells nice and sweet, not burnt.

This is a very cool 36 ready for some fun. Don’t do a thing, just drive the socks off of it right now, or do your own custom touches.
