Projects Not Your Average Coupe Build: 37’ Chevy Unearthed

I was so close to being able to steer I had to sneak out and finish it. Made a quick floor pan to accommodate the steering column and repositioned brake pedal. And got the Borgeson joints setup

 

Looking good, keep at it. Might be a long cold winter so you should get lots done!

 

Well it’s been a while since I’ve worked on the coupe and it’s because we moved again hopefully for the last time lol.

So the last 6 months has been filled with fixing the house to sell, moving, then of course updating the house we just bought . The last couple weekends I’ve finally been able to start setting up the garage so I can begin working on the coupe again! Part of that was making a platform and adding a second doorway to connect the work shop to the main garage.

soon enough I plan to finally finish my doors I tacked together what seems like a lifetime ago

 

Been there done that only in my case it took about 2 years to get the new place renovated and a new garage built. won't do that again!

 

Looks like a nice shop upgrade!

 

Ashamed to say it’s been a few years but I’m back to work on the 37. House projects and work took some energy out of me, but this summer I focused on getting my 57 on the road, sell off some excess inventory and get back to the 37.

Just rebuilt the TH350 (my first automatic trans rebuild) and made some progressive linkage for the tripower setup I pieced together last year.

Made the linkage arms out of some scrap 0.25” aluminum, and welded spacers on them to make them 1/2” thick at the shaft mounting location. They came out alright after polishing, a lot cheaper than buying them anyways!

 

I've got some old projects coming back to life too.
One of them is 52 years old!
