Sectioning a ‘36 Ford?

[NOBLNG]

Anyone done it? Pics?

Here's a '40. Same basic idea...

Thanks Bill. I did run across that thread while searching. I really like the windshield treatment that Steve Boutte showed in that thread.🙂 I was hoping to see a ‘36 as the fenders/running boards are slightly different. I was thinking of taking a bit off the bottom and raising the running boards a bit?

Edit: Here’s a link to the finished item…..Very Nice!

The '40 has a sectioned hood, but the body actually appears to be channeled (floor raised within the body) with the fenders then being installed higher up on the body.  The running boards are eliminated also. 

I'd go the same route with the '36: channel the body (don't take a horizontal section out of it to reduce its height, but rather raise the floor which will lower the entire body).  Then install the fenders in their original position relative to the frame, lose the running boards, then section the hood side panels and grille to tie it all together.
