Barn find 1937 project

Hey guys been looking for a 37-39 sedan that’s not 20k and bondoed up , I picked up this 1937 sedan that’s been in a barn since 1958 here in Canada . All orignal

plans for this summer keep the 216 if it last do a dual carb setup and Fenton headers , HEI dis and some 15 wheels and tires and new wiring harness and brakes .

Future plans are flat out C4 front and rear suspension set up. 250 CI L6 with cam and a 6 speed T56 trans .

 

Pics?

 

With the modern updates maybe it should be posted on the OT page

 

Sorry guys posted some pics..

picked up a spare 235 motor with camshaft. Fenton intake manifold , sids lowered front axle i will post more

 

Nice, Sure looks solid, . Bet a cut and polish would do wonders for the exterior.

 

Winter update

I found a ZR2 rear end north of me 4 hours away so went that way and picked thats up also has a G80 locker in it.

Few weeks before this i was speaking with a stovebolt guy gord who was 82 about a 261 he had rebuild 15 years ago and i was interested but he wanted a bit more then i could afford i told him i would think about it. Month and bit later i got a email from Gary informing me Gord had p***ed away . They did not know what to do with alot of the stuff but told me if i wanted the motor it was mine for 1/3 of the price he was asking so i made the drive west about 6 hours from me and picked it up, while i was there he happened to have some trans there and i noticed there was a T5 looked at it and the Tag told me 1986 and looks like Gord changed the input to a 10 spline so i picked that up.

Plans are to bring the 37 into the shop toss the body on a rotisserie and seal the floors up with DOM16 same stuff as the Por15. I will also have to repair the rear trunk pan cause it has rust and i will be adding a Roll bar with side bar to help me drive it more confidently here in Canada. We have been having alot of accidents and im a bit stressed about all the new and distracted drivers here lol.

 

Last couple of pictures didn’t seem to work

 

A ZR2 rear is 63” and a ‘37 rear is 57”. Are you going to widen the rear fenders? You’ve got 6” difference

 

hey the 37 is a 59.5" WM to WM . Im going to be doing the 2" wider fibergl*** fenders, my fenders inner are pretty rough and new safety laws here its gonna be hard to safety this thing clean lol.

also i will prob be doing a set of detroit steel 18" wheels and i will have to play with back spacing. the 16" stockers are near impossible to find tires for and driving around here with 4" skinnies and drum brakes is a dead wish lol

 

Here is sids lowing axle 3" drop with 3/4" narrowed. McGurk Billet cam with rollers.
