1937 ford business coupe LOOkIN FOR IDEAS

Not a 37, but you'd be hard pressed to beat it....

 

YES the rule is AWESOME! the driver can look as gay as he wants like these guys

 

what size tires on your 36? whats your suspension set up, drop axle? I think thats the stance Im after. thanks. Matt<p>

 

That was almost my new '37 at one point!

 

5.60 15 and G78 15. The front is an '80s Gibbon torsion bar kit with a Volare clip. The hot set up for about a minute, before the MII. I have a complete P&J dropped axle setup to switch it back someday, if I ever feel like tearing it back down.

 

Reason why there aren't many 37 coupes out there is probably because they were used up big time in circle track racing. The weren't considered good enough for a daily-driver rod, but they made great fodder for the track where nobody cared if they got all banged up --- and they had a V8 to boot!

Today 37 Coupes are scarce and they have an art-deco look to them that is attractive to many. I dig 'em. I've got to remember to go pull that '37 carc*** out of the ravine along I-15 one of these days! I've been telling myself that since 1978, and it's still there (I hope).

 

Cool! I'm glad someone else out there feels the way I do about a '37 three window. By the way, it was this very car built by a personal friend of mine that inspired this pineing for a real '37 three wndow.

 

Here's my 37--been together now for almost 30 years--did the scallops in 92--put Moon discs on every now and then just to change things--

Yea-- the magazine pics is just braggin!

 

Sorry--- one didn't come out

 

make it a G***ER..........that would be bad***

 

lose the sealed beams..dtock 37 headlights are way better looking!! there was a nice 37 in streetrodder a couple months ago that was semi lowrider lookin,it was level all the way around with thunderbird wires..different but really cool.

 

Anybody got more pics of this car being built? I don't see the car referenced on the rick dore site.

 

gotta be kidding! Nice thing about that ride, it will be sweet however you do it!

 

I like this one. Very similar to Ryan's '38.

 

Say no more ...that car is *****n`

 

trade it to me and then you do not have to worry about it.

 

My concept:

 

Tail dragger!The stock headlights scream kustom!

 

I know Im going over old ground here but heres one from OZ that looks pretty neat. So neat that I brought it

 

So, what did you decide to do with your '37 Ford?

 

I like the concept '37 three window Janne.

 

I think this car was in Hot Rodeers Journal or something I cant rememebr what magazine but I bought the magazine at the airport and stared at this car the entire plane ride....I couldnt tell you one thing about the magazine or what else was in it except this car...this car is on my "if I won the lottery" list.

 

It is James Hetfields car which is probably why it is not on Dore's site. Rick probably helped with the design as they are both Beatniks. I have heard conflicting info on the builder I thought it was a David Grunion build but I also read that John Aiello built it so I'm not sure.

 

Well, whom ever it belongs to it sure is *****in.

 

You can see the car by going here http://grunionfabrication.com/page.html?id=2&zenid=f1781213eafe10b4bd696d44976d6180 there were a lot of people involved in the build of this car I did the suspension , some sheet metal work, installed the motor and trans, shifter, and pretty much everything to make it a driver. Rick Dore is the designer of this car. If you have more questions just ask.
Oh and one more thing There is no David at Grunion.
Thanks
Kevin AKA the Grunion

 

Here's a great idea!!! SEND ME THAT PIECE OF &^))!!!!! LOVE THE CAR!!! Good luck! If it was mine, I'd tub it?

 

37's used to be the bottom of the totum pole along with the 38 standard. Dubbed the 'ugly duckling' I had a club coupe once. Real ugly. So....found what was left of a 38 club cab. Transfered the parts to the coupe, chopped a few inches. I like 37 thou, always did.
