'37 Chevy Coupe

[TransAmMike]

I present to ya'll my latest creation, about 2 month build time.

The color scheme is a bit of a tribute to my favorite college sports them, LSU Tigers. Paint is Createx Purple Pearl over Mr. Surfacer 1500 Black and Createx Gold Pearl.  I actually did this paint process twice after stripping the whole paint job off when the rattle can Rustoleum Acrylic Lacquer Clear caused the paint to go to he!!.  So after the paint redo, I went with Createx 4050 gloss clear. First time using it and not too sure I like it.

With the exception of a few added items the build is my usual OOB.  Wheels and tires are from Iceman Collections, the exhaust headers are from Ron Coon.  A big shout out goes to forum members "ncbuckeye67" for the Enderle looking injector hat on top the engine and to "presnell" for the taillights.  For some reason there weren't any in the kit.

So here's a few pictures:

 

                                     

                                                              

                                                                                

                                              

 

                                                                           

                                        

                                           

                                           

As always, thanks for looking😊

Oh man...that's a Looker right there Buddy.  Love that color and the stance looks right on.  She's a keeper for sure.

Thanks my Friend...yeah I'm gonna keep it😂😂

That looks really nice the gold interior really looks right with the purple. This is one of the greatest gasser kits of all time 

[presnell]

Very NICE Mike I really like it.

Outstanding build  Mike!

[Mike 1017]

Most Excellent Build. I always liked the 1937 Gasser Chevy more than any of the Willys Gassers

Thanks Mike.  As for me, I'm a big Willys gasser fan but there were/are so many of them compared to the old Chevy.

Beautiful color and finish. Like the gasser stance. Bright contrasting interior, fitting for such a vehicle.

Hey thanks David.   I'm real happy with how the interior came out even tho it's more of a show car interior than a gasser.  I'm calling this a streetable show gasser.  Of course with those big headers it would attact a lot of attention😂

There was a time when some gassers would be of the show & go variety and such an interior would look great with a little angel hair and bright lights.

Very cool Mike!  Looks great in purple.  I have this kit in my queue to work on in the new year.

[Scott8950]

Very nicely done, great color combination.

Thanks Larry, I appreciate the comment.

[Speedpro]

Very Nice! The interior is really wild looking in those colors.   

[bobss396]

Flat out amazing. Most of the parts for a gasser are in that kit. I agree on the use of aftermarket headers.

I was selling some of those kits at a recent show.. could not get a bite on any of them.

[Dave42]

More great work from you here. Love the flashy interior too. 

[Rattlecan Dan]

Super-nice build. Great work!
