Any 37 Chevys out there? I need to be motivated

Mine is setting in the back of the shop. I reworked the frame summer before last and got most of the body sand blasted. I even set in the motor and trans. Then I shut down when school started back up.

I didn't even touch it last summer. I need to be motivated! Summer is on the way and I will have three months off.

 

Theres this one... some dude here built it or something like that...



( search LeadSledMerc or Cannonball Taildragger )

 

37's don't get any better than that.

 

That will do! But a few more wouldn't hurt.

 

What body style is it that you have? I don't want to be posting up pictures of '37 Chevy trucks if those aren't going to motivate you.

 

There is a dude on here with a hell of a nice burgandy one. I 'll have to look for it

 

Here are 2 more pics of leadsledmerc's 37...also check out The Rodder's Journal #53 for a full spread.

 

Thats the one

 

Here is another

 

Here's a beater sedan for ya. Still a ways to go here too.

 

Notice how much better the burgundy one looks in the Rodder's Journal with the Cadillac sombrero caps and tall bias plies. Makes a world of difference.

I love this year for Chevy, they're almost perfect from the factory.

 

Our 37 on the road since 1984.

 

You're the best Slick...catch you soon!!

Here's a couple of self promoting pics...

 

i feel ya on your '37 project . been working on my '37 pickup ... with everything else going on,hopefully soon

 

Is my 38 close enough?

 

Being a Ford guy there's only a handfull of Chevy's I'd ever really want to own and the 37 is one of them. Kinda surprised most posted here are customs (nothing wrong with that), I always think gasser when it comes to 37 coupes.
Maybe cause I had one years ago!

Don't think the pics worked 1st time???

 

Mine is a Coupe, but I like them all. 38s are great also.

I put a mustang front under it back in the 80s. It was cut out of a car. I bought all new parts and changed over to chevy 5 lug with disc brakes. Now I'm not sure, the gasser look good too.

 

Please make it a classy (!) tail dragging custom.... their lines are too perfect to be turned into a drag car.. its begging to be a custom!

 

LeadSledMerc's 37' is it, doesn't get any better than that....
Can't wait to jump on mine, his is a real inspiration ^

 

...my 37 coupe...

 

'37 Chevy coupe was probably the best looking body Chevy ever built! The '38 is a close 2nd!

 

Boy if I had one sitting arouund this is all the inspiration I would need!!!

 

This is the '37 Coupe my Dad built as a daily driver in the mid 1980s. He drove it daily well into the 90s. I inherited it when he died in 2004. I have it back on the road, but can't say that I have done much to it since I got it.

Kind of stalled out myself... Have other projects keeping me busy, and this one is now just sitting.

I got the body and rear wing off a wild ProMod racer when he went to carbon fiber. My plan was on putting my C5 Corvette chassis under it. Found a stock trunklid, hoping to find 'glass front and rear (a little more normal rear fenders) but I do really dig the chopped-sectioned profile to match the Corvette running gear.

Some day.
