1937 Ford

[crazyjim]

This might be my best effort ever. The body was primed with Plast-I-Kote black sandable primer. Then I put down 2 coats of HOK wild cherry candy, 1 coat of clear that I mixed some Perfect Pearl into, followed by 2 more coats of wild cherry and then 3 coats of clear. This is the first build I ever wet sanded and polished. It came out pretty good.

I did some other work like recessed license plate, frenched taillights, polished aluminum tubing exhaust, big & little Pegasus chrome Ts with my casted Brembo brakes, wired & plumbed engine with transmission and oil dipsticks. The air filter is my casting. I removed the center post from the windshield and rear window, and also removed the side posts to clean it up a little.

Now I'm ready for the Gainesville show on Saturday.

My FAVORITE of the Early Fords! Such a pretty car! You sure did it justice with that paint job, WOW! She came out great!!!

[Danno]

Nice. Sure looks slick without the center posts!

Nice work. Is the tag honoring vets of the Viet Nam war?

[crazyjim]

Thanks guys. I took my time with this one and I'm happy with it. Hope the judges will like it too.

The '37 is one of my favorites - maybe I'll try a chopped top on the next one.

Yes, the tag is to remember Vietnam Veterans. I put one on every one of my builds.

My son and I are both big fans of the 37's...I recently posted a Lindburg coupe and he a sedan...yours is totally, absolutely, completely awesome! I had a 1:1 many years ago and I have never got over that body style...GREAT JOB!
