This is my new project .I lost one of my best friends in IRAQ last year .I have been talking to his father about buying his 31 .Around a month ago he called and told me he was ready to let it go .I felt honored and guilty at the same time, but I really wanted the car .He told me the family wanted me to have the car so we made the deal and I picked it up .I bought a 871 blower for it and picked up a Franklin quick change .This will be a car I keep and pass down to the kids .

This was a virgin '37 when I found it about 10 years ago, complete with original paint, upholstery and glass....but well worn. This is the first mock-up after chopping the top 2" in front, 1" in the rear. The body is nearing completion now, just the front fenders and a few odds and ends to finish off. I'm running a 430 hp Chevy crate motor and have a few mods to that to bring it up around 475 hp. It has a modified 700R4 trans and a Ford 9" with 4 bar in the rear. The front is Mustang II, with power steering and 4 wheel disc brakes.
probably not to hamb friendly but its mine and thats what counts to Me 1955 chevy pickup(yes its face is missing in the picture) 396 TH400 sitting on a 65' shortbed chassis
