    I have to hand it to you, good job. When I picked up that old frame and you were telling me what all you had in mind and that it was your first build, I had serious doubts. You pulled it off and it looks great in what like 2 years?

    I just can't believe anyone would say anything like that about this car.

    Its a beautiful ride man. Someday I hope to be able to make a car 1/2 as nice.

    Thanks alot JUSTABEATER37 I never thought we would talk again lol. Yep it was a long two years to lol. Did you get any use outta that chassis, after i watched you drive away with it i was wishin i kept it lol
     
  6. I am still waiting for pictures of it sitting side by side of a stock 37 Ford. I would not trade for a stock flathead powered 37 coupe.

    You did not expect to receive all positive feed-backs?

    You surely didn't miss that rusty old frame much I am sure. Still have it around. I moved, got side tracked and haven't got back to it yet. I may use some part off of that frame to go on my son's car though. But then again I just got him a rolling 41 ford chassis cheap so we will see.

    very nice job!! I agree with leaving it green. gold would be ok too but the green is different.
    I'd just drive it and start another project..a roadster...or a pickup...or a sedan...or a chopper...or a...:D

    That's pretty bold and out of the box thinking. Maybe not everybody's cup of tea but you pulled it off. Great workmanship!

    I'm not a big fat fender guy, but this thing is absolutly georgeous! Great flow and finish. I can't see how anyone could not just love the execution of this project. Great job!

    That is one badass coupe! I really dig the green, I have a 37 tudor and metalic green was my only choice for the paint, can I ask what color or mix is it so I can use it on my car? I had the same theme in mind on mine green over white. You shown it works and how Thanks!

    :D
