"Cannon Ball" Taildragger is shinny at last!!!

looks great with the new paint, you got a keeper there !

 

Beautiful! I love it!

 

Its real difficult to pull off a chop on a '37-38 Chevy coupe. Seems the quarter window always ends up awkward. But you nailed on this thing. I've always liked this car.

 

you really disapointed me keith , i was so hoping for the 20's -and splash graphics , damn that traditional thinking , - lol --joe

 

heres a few pics i took of it on monday



this one really shows the color!

 

Sorry to disappoint you Joe, but they wore me down! haha

It's great finally get back out again!!
Thanks for posting the pics.

 

WOW, how'd I miss this thread?

Keith she looks absolutely great. I liked the primer, she looked like a cloud blowin' along, the road..... But a great color choice, the dipped in paint look and those 20's... WOW.

Looking forward to seeing it in person, now that the monson season has passed?

See ya Howard

 

SICK!!!

Really nice photo.

 

Dammit, I mean this photo.

 

Kieth,
Just stunning! Any more photos of that unique hood opening arrangement, firewall and engine? Also would like to hear more about the power train and chassis.
Thanks,
Chuck
PS Will you be at the HAMB Drags?

 

Hey Chuck,
I hadn't seen this thread for a while, sorry I hadn't responded.
Not sure what your looking for for pics, but check some of the build threads I posted around post #79. There's probably more detailed pics before all the sheetmetal went on.
I took a few more pics for you of the hood hinge I put together, it works great. I haven't installed the latches yet, but it really doesn't need them.
The power and chassis details are all in the those build links, but it's basically a 401 Nailhead/700R4/9", Heidts Mustang bagged front/4-link sleeved rear, C'd frame.
If there's something in particular your looking for, let me know and I'll do my best.
It's a 20 foot car that I drive the $hit out of...and havin a ball!
No HAMB Drags this year, but sometime I'm sure.
Keith

 

Westergaurd would be proud! Damn nice!

 

B-E-A-utiful! I'm jealous! That car is amazing, now drive the hell out of it!

 

Thanks to both of you.

It's been a busy couple of years with other stuff since I first put the car on the road, but it's already got 8500 fun miles on it...it's a driver!

That car rules.. Out of the park man

 

Oh man that photoshop looks bad. just think some sheep are into that crap

 

So awesome!

Thanks!
I haven't seen this thread for a while. I've actually gotten a lot more done on the car...vent and side windows are done, Sombrero's with Firestones in the front, interior is all done, and put a stock dual quad on the Nailhead!

Here's a shot Trent took when he was out here last year.

 

Thanks for the new pix I got a throbber workin....

 

This car deserves to be brought up in the light again. Beautyfull

 

What superb car. Glad to see you´re still finishing it off. Updates always welcome.
