thats RUGGED@! what are your plans?
not 100% sure yet
i wont know for sure until i tear it down and have a good look at it
its in pretty rough shape but im gonna try to reuse as many parts as possible
its missing the driver door
rebuild the engine
straighten out the body
chop the roof
no paint
no hood
I want this thing to be bare bones
I'll probably leave the fenders
I race dirt track cars so I'll probably use a similar setup
I want it to be unique

grat, I'm down in Morgan City, La.. my friend has a 39 ford in much better shape than your 37 he would like to move out from his shop. I could give you his contact info if you're interested. not sure what he wants for it, but it won't be much.
