32 Ford "tweaks" and a few mods

[HWY Nova]

So, Greg........ Now that this project is virtually done (by painting the heads that should have been painted the first time around! [K.D.]), what is your "next" project?

I have a '37 Ford - Minotti body 3 window coupe - and I already had the chassis custom built (a year or more ago) - LS6 (probably won't use it but buy a new LS3 or ? - will get 8 stack or blower... was going to be an automatic for cruising - has a Ford 9" on inboard mounted leaf springs and the chassis was C notched for low ride... It's going to be PPG Barcelona Blue (have posted a '32 that is the correct color)... and Recovery room interior...


Here's the butt ugly hump as it is - the way I bought it for a complete do over project. Some pretty ugly stuff comes out of BAKERSFIELD I can tell ya!







Here's the color it will be painted.









And here's an interior idea I've been slobbering over for a couple years.....








And here's the chassis I had built for it.....









And if you look closely - you can see the chassis as it is now....

Uh, Greg....I think you just hijacked your own thread! Oh, and thanks BTW. That car in that color's gonna be great, seriously!

I think you're gonna need a bigger garage tho...

Are you allowed to jack your own thread? I don't know... doesn't sound right though does it?!


Same thing Charley told me.... about the garage space.

I think it's rule book approved if your name's Greg or Charlie...

The floor space is fine, he just needs taller walls.......

Greg, you told me once but I don't remember who built that chassis?

Superior Glassworks - in Molalla, Oregon built the chassis. After looking and discussing this chassis with about a million people that build 'em - they all looked to be about the same... so decided to keep it local.

The '37 is all about loading up the trunk and going cruising... thus - just a simple leaf spring rear - power rack - manual Wilwood brakes... LS motor.
Super simple - super clean nice little crusin' machine. Did I mention the multi channel McIntosh Amp... it has to have killer crusin' tunes... and big A/C.

I'm waiting for the old DB next door to croak... then I'll buy his house and knock the POS down and build a set up like Charley has... one shed for clean and pretty and one shed for down and dirty.

Of course my wife might have a thing or two to say about that....
