  • In this episode of Torque Alley Garage I dig into the “yard art” 1936 Ford Coupe. This rat rod project has been on my mind since it made its way home last fall and it gets 1 step closer to being in the shop. If you like patina and rust, stick around.

    I love 36 Ford coupe's, but patina has been done to death. Every man and his dog is doing it.

      I know it’s all the craze right now, that’s part of why I wanted to go in the vintage modified stock car direction. I can add my own style to it and still be different. Thanks for watching!

      You’re right, I blanked out at the time. Lol. I thought about Morten Anderson and the sweet “2 bar” he rocked for decades. Thanks for watching!

    I can guarantee that thing will never run again. But I wouldn't mind having it sitting in my front yard, with Jerry's Speed Shop painted on the side. I don't think the neighbors would appreciate that though.

      I accept your challenge that it will never run again. Thanks for watching, Im sure my neighbors will wonder what I’m up to.

    That shell is a dream find here in the UK, subbed so we can watch the rat project.

    • @torquealleygarage
      @torquealleygarage  Рік тому

      I really appreciate the sub, I’ve had so many people drive by and ask if it’s for sale or if they could buy it for yard art. They look at me like I’m crazy when I tell them it’s gonna go back on the road!

    Interesting history from your gram. I grew up in the Fairfield area, but am not old enough to remember the car she mentioned. I spent a lot of time at dirt tracks in SE Iowa, but it was late 60s, early 70s. Good luck with your car, it looks fairly knackered!

    • @torquealleygarage
      @torquealleygarage  Рік тому +1

      I’ve still got family around that area, wish I could find any photos from those tracks back when! I appreciate the support and history! Hope you subscribe, I’d love to keep in touch!

      A gasser is an option, depends how things shake out! Right now there’s an Oldsmobile 350 sitting on shop floor for a power plant on a budget. Thanks for the support!

    The hole in the middle of the dash was a radio. There were only 3 gauges in front of the steering wheel, I'd say the other was added by a previous owner.

      @IowaMercMan Рік тому

      Some 35-36 cars had an ashtray in the radio hole. I bought a 36 cabriolet dash to put in my Model A hot rod, and it came with a chrome ashtray in that spot.

    • @torquealleygarage
      @torquealleygarage  Рік тому

      I’d like to put an ashtray back in it, even though I don’t smoke.

      @@torquealleygarage No mine was in beautiful shape , especially surprising since it lived it's whole life in PA. until I picked it up.
