comp1839 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 i'm very happy to say, this is an article about my street rod. took 5 years for me to complete it, as far as it is, in the article. there are a few upgrades in the works including, painting it all one shade of satin black, an engine upgrade to 730 cubic inches and EFI. just go to one of the links provided. same article is on both sites. i hope you enjoy it. https://www.dragzine.com/features/pro-mod-to-pro-street-dave-shermans-wild-1937-chevy/ https://www.rodauthority.com/features/pro-mod-to-pro-street-dave-shermans-wild-1937-chevy/ you certainly may voice your opinion. just remember it is my car and i built for me to enjoy.

Ace-Garageguy Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Pretty wild street ride. If a little over the top is good, way over the top is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hey I'm right down Route 100 from you! Great car! I read the article too! I like the engine with the "Oldsmobile" valve covers as shown in the photo in this thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp1839 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 thank you guys. i appreciate it. it was a blast building parts and putting this together and the past 350 miles have been the best miles i've ever spent in a car. i'll see if i can't find or make a video that gives you the right sound. tom, i like the "olds" valve covers too. they are for the DRCE heads. just not the newer version that is on the car. the bottom half had to be removed and hand fabricated because the valve angles had been rolled over to the extent, the exhaust valves literally hung out the bottom of the cover. it's kind of the fun thing about this engine, you just don't go buy stuff off the shelf. you have to fabricate alot of it. i think they add alot of "character " to the engine bay. thanks again for the great responses! if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.
