"Cannon Ball" Taildragger update...

I don't think I've done an update on my '37 Chevy dragger project since last year. I put a **** load of flawless miles on it last year, so I figured it was time for the next move.

Been at it for a couple of months now,yea I'm slow as hell at body work.
The fenders are off and ready for the shinny stuff.
The body is almost done. I just have the hood to do, then it's all ready for paint. Maybe within a couple of weeks!

I see a light at the end of the tunnel, but I'm starting to think it's a train comin my way...maybe it's the "Cannon Ball"!! haha

Did I mention I hate body work.

 

Smoooth

 

Lookin good Keith! What are the paint plans??

 

Any hints on a color??


I just heard this today,and thought it might help,

It's called Body Work and not Body Fun for a reason...

 

This is one my favorite 37's I've ever seen!

 

looks good...car is amazing in person

 

Dito.....and color?

 

Very sharp!

 

Lookin good Kieth ! What color or colors?

 

nice! come on spill the beans what color is it going in?

 

can't wait to see it...

 

wow, thats really nice. cant wait to see it finished

 

coming along great keith!! cant wait to see it in color this summer, i know it'll look great.

oh, and for the guys that dont know the color yet, body is going to be the same color as the dash... unless he changed his mind and is going flat black instead! hahaa

 

Car's looking great.
What's not to like about sanding?
Sanding is great fun and gives you ***y biceps

 

Thats awesome Keith,the car will look great.

 

Holy ****!!!!! I think this is the coolest custom i've seen lately.

Very Kool!! Love the '37 has to be the baddest one out there. My goal is

the bad boy.

Happy Trails,

Mick

was just wondering what was up with your car,,,,it looks GREAT keith,,,,,,,maybe i'll get to see it in person this year...

 

Lookin' good, love the style.

 

man i cant wait to see it in color

 

Beautiful. I love it,..I want one!

 

Thanks a lot for the compliments everyone...they really help me keep the motivation going.

My '37 isn't much of a custom compared to a lot of you guys, but its been a real fun build. I've got some other ideas for it, but I want to get it shinny and then go from there.

As far as the color goes ol'skool29 is right, it's going to be the color of the dash. It's tough to see the color in the picture, but it's dark, so I've got to get everything real straight. There was a drag boat thread on here where I posted pictures of my old boat...the cars going to be that same color.
I guess you'll just have to wait a couple more weeks! haha

Bondo & Beer...good for what ales you!!

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

If ya didn't stand around all nite drinkin beers the car would have been done in 2007!!WTF Dude!!lol

Good for you Keith....cant wait to see it painted....
