Happy to see a Ford in a Ford... She's gonna be sweet af when you get her done man
Cool ride..I was pleasantly surprised to see a 302 ford in it..usually everyone just slaps a 350 chevy in street cruisers..
I noticed that too and when I was looking for a car it wasn’t a must for me that it was Ford powered, but I do think it’s cool to be all steel with Ford driveline
@@wal That Ford engine is nice, I really don't understand these guys that LS swap everything
@@fishyfool RUclips "ls swapped ___" and you'll see why.
I'd much rather have that 302. It's purely a classic engine and very expensive to get. 5.3L Chevy would destroy the history of this car. It's a Ford classic!
@Dave Micolichek I understand LS's, but they are not appropriate in everything.
Small block chevys are cheap too but I wouldn't put one in a '66 fastback mustang.
Honda K series swaps are en vogue too but who the hell wants one in a model t?
Perfect time to build a wall in the back when the interior is out. Love the car and the channel. Thank you
Wall kinda defeats the purpose of having room for the kiddos though
Dang Big D that's a really clean Ford! I like this car a lot- it's really easy to go overboard and decide in your head that you have to have a fuel-injected big block, coilovers, Wilwood giant dic brakes, etc, etc, but this build is very restrained. I think the choice of parts, engine, suspension, paint, really everything makes sense for this car. What's really important is that YOU like it. It doesn't matter what I think or anyone else. Regardless, I like this Ford a whole lot and I'm not normally a big Ford guy. Very nice car, Big D.
Yay!!!! The Ford is out!!!! So cool!! I've been waiting for the car for forever!!!
Yeah I’ve been driving it a couple of times a week for the past 2 months. It’s doing great, lots of fun to cruise with it.
I am a ford person and I am so glad you kept fitted with the ford 302. I would go with long tubed headers.
Remember there are not perfect cars, just perfect days in our cars. I’ve learned this the hard way. Enjoy your time in your car. I have a 72 skylark. 2-10 inch fosgates & a 300 watt fosgate amp from 2003.
@Willison use 87-93 Mustang 5.0 shorty headers. Very cost effective and easy to source. AND the best part, they come with a ball-socket style flange so leaks are near impossible
Great tip, thanks!
Nice ride, can't wait to see you fix her up.
Damn Big D...love the old cars and that sunset shot...yeah that's a beauty shot for sure...nice clean car though and I know it came with mods already as you've mentioned in a prior video. Stay with the Street Rod style...comfy cruiser with style!
Yessir that’s the plan. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Whatever you choose for exhaust, be sure to use some type of crossover. I personally prefer the sound of a H pipe, more of a rumble and less raspy than a X pipe.
I'd use a large, straight core muffler, like a Magniflow. Flowmaster and other chambered mufflers have horrible drone.
I'd also have the tailpipes routed behind the car. The longer pipes smooth out the sound. It will also get the fumes away from the passenger compartment.
Nice ride Big D! The interior is rough but has a lot of potential for your own customization. Looks like a fun project! Good luck!
Speedway has a ton of hot rod parts. Also consider swapping in a hydro boost brake system and disc brake rear . Also Vintage Air has a great product. Just added one to an old Ford pick up.
I need to research the brake option as these manual brakes work but you really have to plan your stop!
I got my hydro boost off a Chevy Astro van out of a junk yard. Your going to need a power steering pump too. For the rear disk look at Crown Vic or some Mustangs. But it depends on which rear end is in the car now. If you have a Ford 8 or 9 inch it will be pretty easy. But you may just need a bigger master cylinder. If the original builder used a 4 drum master cylinder then added the front disc you won't have enough fluid volume.
Sweet ride -- my ex's sister had a Ford Model A with a rumble seat, kept original blue paint and ran well.
Only 1 tweeter works in my work truck so the intro sounded awesome. Car looks good.
Loved the video man! Such a beautiful car. Look forwars to following the progress you make on this!
Thanks brother!
One of my favorite pre-war sedans! 😎👍
Love seeing a ford engine in ford classic. Love it make it bump man.. 2 15 inch free air behind seat, good stuff
Sweet ride man
Thanks brother 🤘
Sweet car, my family just recently purchased a 1946 merc, compleatly fram off restoration!! All stock!! Tube am radio!!
Gonna be epic when it’s done
Yeah boyee!
At first it looked like the cars my uncles restored. After taking a look at this video I began to see all the engineering extras on this car. They must of had an amazing design team.
👌😬👍
Beautiful rude for sure....thank you for the update on the 37!
Awesome ride great video love the sunset shot keep up the great work and have a great day.
Nice video. Looks like a car you can have a relaxing drive in.👍
Yeah she’s a cruiser, just gotta keep both hands on the wheel and plan those stops
She's a beauty bro!!😍👌 So cool you can go out on the town and take the whole family with you. There's so much potential in that Ford, it's unbelievable. That said, I'd love to see an IB setup in there. 😉👍
Thanks brother. Gonna be something “show-y” for sure!
Now that's an automobile right there!😎 It always so great seeing updates on this ride, whatever you have planned I know it'll be awesome!!😎🤙
Look for “tight tuck” or “block hugger” headers for a 302. Most either point the collector straight down between the middle two cylinders or exit low and out the back. I’ll FB message you some links.
Thanks brother!
2nd that suggestion
@@wal Yo big dummy, whatever you do with the exhaust, put an X pipe in it so it purrs instead of fart... Good luck VERY nice car!!
@LMSILVA The muffler has a greater effect on the sound than an X pipe. If you did a back/back comparison I highly doubt you'd hear any difference between an H/X pipe.
An X pipe will help with scavenging though.
You have a cool ride with a great stance. It has a cool sound. You upgraded the wiring. Lets face it none of us are rich let alone wealthy. We have bills to pay and some of us wives that limit what we might want to do with our "toy" rides. At some point you may be able to do the interior the way you would like it. In the mean time you have nothing to apologize for. Enjoy this very special and unique ride. i am confident that at any cars and coffee event you have the only 37 Ford four door street rod.
BTW I like your "hair style". It's exactly like mine. We Rock!
Thanks and I totally agree. Have an awesome New Year!
Nice Rod man. I look forward to seeing the progress on the channel.
Nice!
I'm glad you found a gem Big D Wiz.
Sweet score bud.
Nice ride Mr big dummy😎😎😎. That kind of cars are rare in Holland. I really really love that kind of cars. Beautiful 😍😍😍
Thank you for the videos D!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!

I can't wait for more vids of this beauty! Was always curious
Nice car. Interested to see your system when completed.
hey big D, i use this rust neutralizer at work, its a green liquid, it converts the oxide layer of rusting steel so that it stops rusting and then protects the metal. it can be painted directly after its dry with primer. You can spray it on with a spray bottle and you dont have to do anything after if you dont have time. Get some rust neutralizer and protect your baby. I see under the rear seat could use a little spray at least and then hit it with a rattle can.
Thanks for the tip. I have the POR 15 already and planning on using it
Slick ride Big D, I like it!!
Can't wait to see it when your done.
I’m late but I’m here 😁
Been waiting to see that street rod of yours!
👌😬👍
Sweet ride man. Looks and sounds great.
I love the regular videos but it’s cool to see you doing something like this. My buddy’s dad has had an old 4 door ford I think is a 37 since at least the 80’s. I’m more into the muscle car era but pretty cool
So sweet! Love it
Knowing you it’s going to be done right and just be so nice. I’d go shock headers and exhaust so it has that nice subtle stock sound and just get loud when you romp on it. I’m sure someone will reach out to you and help you put a nice system in that ride I know if I could I would. Your then man, the ride suits you unique ,cool and CLASSIC. YA BOOY!! 😃
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Been in the hot rod/street rod world since I was 5. Hot/street rod are interchangeable with most people. Hot rod is a older term from jalopys in the ‘50’s. Street rod came from the 70/80’s when the scene got going strong.
Mustang II suspension is a common swap and will give you rack/pinion steering along with a much better ride. Go with a aftermarket steering column and then you will have all controls like wiper and turn signal. Some have the headlights integrated as well. Speedway Motors is your friend. Sounds like you got a leak at the manifold as well. Sanderson makes nice headers!
I’m looking to get the Sandersen headers, they come highly recommended
Cool ride man! Good find and it's pretty clean 👍🏻
Thanks brother 👍
Now you hit my sweet spot! Bad ass ride💥👍😎
Don't use the LED conversion bulbs. Halogen will actually work better because the optics are designed for light that comes from a filament shaped source. Get some LED foglights and maybe some LED driving lights instead.
Sweet ride Big D! Enjoy! My last "sleeper" was a 1979 Volvo 262 Bertone (Mafia) Coupe. Factory chopped top (3.5"), 350 TBI about 300 hp, Turbo 350 with lockup converter & shift kit. Fun to drive.
Many cutting edge factory features, cost $17,000 in '79, about 3x the cost of a Caprice Classic. Should have kept it.
👍
My dad left me a real sleeper. 4 door Buick Electra 225. With a 455 bored out to 500 nitrous oxide, hurts floor shifter. 750 hp work was done by Motion Performance in Baldwin Long Island before EPA closed him down. I think he is now in business in Florida. Car also has headers and dual MagnaFlow mufflers. Loud as hell when you nail it.
Cool ride 👍
1979 ish Mustang column and wheel ? Great color! Nice to see a SBF in a Ford. AOD? If not, do it, it will make long drives so much quieter and economical.
Thanks for the video on the car Big D. What a great project, just ripe for updating. Love the fact that it's a four door rather than the more popular two door. Definitely a cool car.
I specifically wanted a 4 door to be different and I love the suicide rear doors 🤘
Cool car and it has a ford motor yay, that por15 is amazing stuff, I have a gallon at home waiting for my next project. The interior is the same color as your scalp btw lol
Roll that bucket over to the Soundman. Let Doug slam and hydro that thang! Plus Rafa can hot glue a iPad in the dash!
😂👍
Very cool
Love it! Have a 49 F1. Pretty much all stock. Want to get a car soon so all the kids can go with me. I was so glad to see a Ford engine in it!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Sweet car! The manual vent and windshield are awesome. Super cool.
You might need shorty headers, not as much performance gain as long tubes but long tube headers may not fit. Edelbrock makes nice headers reasonably priced. Bad ass car though.
Thanks brother 👍
Awesome car man! Looking forward to the rebuild.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
SPINTECH mufflers would sound great on it. I really like your car. Its in nice shape.
Thanks brother 🤘
Honestly I would vote for a Flowmaster 40 series, but being frugal- you go to AutoZone and buy a Thrush "Welded" model muffler- it's exactly the same as a FM 40.
Big D doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that would like the flowmaster drone.
@Dave Micolichek Yes, it is. I'm not talking about a Thrush Glasspack, or a Thrush Turbo muffler. They do have another model, the Welded, which is exactly the same as a Flowmaster. Don't believe me? Go spend the $40 on one and cut it open. It's got the deltas inside, and other than the logo on the case you won't know the difference.
Beautiful car big D. The stance is perfect and the fordor is more unique than the typical coupe. My suggestion is since you are still rolling with early 90’s wheels and white letter tires, why not stick with the theme? Build an all 90’s system in it and keep it all period correct.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
YES SIR!!!VERY NICE!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
love it! needs air and big rims with lower profile tyres xx
Beautiful ride Big D! 👍😎👍
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for putting out the great content that you do!
We look forward to your vids. Cheers! 👍😎👍
Big D. My 54 is using H4 headlights.. I purchased them for my 2013 Honda Interstate motorcycle. Led is super bright.... the other halo rings can be hooked to parking lamps for Daylight running lamp and also tied to turn signal will turn orange on the halos..... DM me though PayPal.... you will definitely love the price.... me and my little bitty stereo system is out of here. Love the car brother
Dope car
For the exhaust system spend a few 100 more and get mendrel bent stainless. You'll be much happier with it instead of the aluminized crush-bent stuff a regular exhaust shop will use.
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it 👍
I used block hugger style headers on a few of my fat fendered fords just make sure u get u a set with thick flanges where it mounts on to the engine block the thicker the better for not having exhaust leaks in the future also u wanna spend a lil xtra on the gaskets for those flanges but anyways that's one sweet ride after u por15 it I'd lay down some kind of lizard skin or sound deadner over it it made so much of a difference adding deadner thruout on the floors, doors & firewalls anywho like always enjoy ur video's keep up the awesome work
Great tips, thanks! Yeah sound deadener will be applied for sure
@@wal ya it makes such a night and day difference with the sound deadening along with alternative ways to add power assist accessories like electric power steering boxes and they also have electric powered a/c units u can buy now that no longer require a belt driven a/c compressors which save HP loss & space in the engine bay
And that 302 Cobra should be a 4 valve, 4 or 6 bolt mains. That thing can put out some serious power for a 5ltr. High compression.
Speedway motors has well had anyway metal flake grant gt style steering wheels I bought a grey with silver flake few years back looks awesome n retro reminds me of metal flake vinyl seats on little motorcycle merry go rounds at fair when I was little late 70s.. enjoy Big D!
I found a banjo style on Summit Racing I like. The steering wheel in the car is from a Caddy 🤦♂️
Thanks for sharing a part of your personal life brother. That would make a great vehicle to advertise for Arc Audio.
It looks damn great for a car that's almost 100 years old
83 to be exact
You've got a lot if big steps and a few jumps ahead of you, Looking good. I hope when you get the exhaust fixed you just run the tail pipes out the back.
They really butchered that poor rear deck, omg that wiring SMH. At least it's in good hands now.
Probably have to use a shorty header some that tuck in a full length wouldnt fit unless custime made also get an x pipe done to blend the exhaust pulses will keep it quieter as you wamt this to be your street cruiser. Here's some ideas of my own for your cruiser power steering power brakes and install holly's fuel injection system for better drivability and maybe vintage air for A/C the car is really cool lots of personality and is a good platform to make your own and improve
I considered FI when I got the intake kit but I wasn’t quite ready yet. Hopefully eventually and Vintage AC would be sweet too
Nice
You need to put those bluepunkts in your blue ford. Nice ride.
beutifull car bet its a blast to cruise in
I don't know what headers to use but I do know to use arp header bolts. I used them on my 72 442 and never had a leak.
Sure it turn heads on the street. Very nice Ford
Really cool car
👌😬👍
I absolutely love the 1937 Fordor . And I really like yours , even more so that it has a Ford V8 rather than the usual ( and dumb ) SBC swap. Nothing kills a car more for me than when they swap in a modern engine and drivetrain anddont stay with the original manufacturer when possible .
Thanks for the comment! I hope to have more updates soon
You may not need new headers. Just a manifold gasket. If the header has a small leak the guy at the muffler shop should be able to braise the leak closed.
You need to put a ford aod transmission behind that 302. Will let you cruise much happier and keep that 5.0 at a reasonable speed.
Nice solid real steel rod you got there brother, everything always needs some work after almost 80 lol...good lord they really did some good work in certain parts and then allowed a blond guy to modify the rear deck but that can be fixed no big deal there meant to be driven you got it right there...I hate seeing trailer queens I understand there thoughts behind it but I agree to disagree with those guys I build em with the intention to put rubber to the road
Yeah man I wanted a driver
Exhaust for a early 79-93 302 the best sound is flowmaster 40's not the new ones but the older ones with less interior baffles. I second the factory 87-93 shorty headers. They're cheap and easy to get. My 83 mustang had those headers with an h piped and dual flowmaster 40's. It was a sweet sounding setup.
Thanks for the tips!
For headers I wouldn't cheap out buy ceramic coated headers first it's worth it I had 2 sets of headers rust with the parts store header paint. The only ones that would fit in a 37 Ford with a 302 swap would be a set of block hugger's, full length if you could find headers for unmodified suspension.
I was surprised and horrified that you didn't have an anchored container for the battery. Acid , tipping over Ect. Cool looking car. Restomod isn't restricted to the 70's. One classic example of a whole industry built around restomoding a classic is the Tri-five Bel Air Chevrolet. You can buy a chassis that is built to accommodate every modern addition so that the owner can have the beauty of these classics with a road worthy and safe ride. You could restomod your car with the only limitation being money.
I have the battery anchored now
Nice job on the ride! I love to see some modern updates engine headlights etc. I have an 86 Ford f150 302 fi the sound of the motor is just as important as important to me as the sound of my system do me a favor and check out the headman shorty headers and cherry bomb pro 2.5 or 3 inch muffler they sound beautiful and have a sturdy build quality. If you want a little quieter ride check out the cherry bomb vortex. I run the pro series muffler on my 66 Chevrolet chevelle sbc 400 and the vortex on my 86 f150 302 and my 97 Ford mustang 3.8. Anyway hope to see more good work from you so keep it up 🙈🙊🙉 🤙.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Resto mods are usually 60's-70's "muscle cars" with modern amenities. A lot of them weren't full frame cars so not really swapping body's to newer frames. Whatever headers you decide to go with don't cheap out because you'll regret it.
Sanderson headers come highly recommended, do you know of these? www.sandersonheaders.com/sanderson-ff5-small-block-ford-221-302-header-set.html?category_id=33
@@wal It's not a company that I've personally used but they've been around longer than I have. Usually if an aftermarket part manufacturer last that long they make a good product. The specs on the headers in the link are better than a lot of other brands. But like I said I've never used them so I couldn't really give a recommendation either way.
Big D, have you ever shared a Spotify playlist with base and test tracks. I really like the tracks and beats you use.
You might want be able to upgrade the manual brake with a more efficient brake master cylinder. And headers there are some choices on summit racing website.
1937 FORD STREET ROD Patriot Tight Tuck Headers H8427 these are 185.00. Might have to look arround to see what you want as for headers.
Nice house ya got there @Williston Audio Labs :)
The bank thinks so too 😳
@@wal Don't they always do? :)
Would love you see you test the "Rockville RWS12CA Slim 1200 Watt 12" Powered Car Subwoofer" off Amazon.
Was just trying to find the newest video hopefully you see this. Sweet ride 😎. Was wondering if you ever dynoed audiopipe apcle 1800 strapped at 1 ohm.. this will be my second set up running them like that never went in protect really puts out follow you all the time.. would love to actually see what it's doing...
Dereck that car is so totally badass brother you have no idea how much of a bitchin ride your car is. I love your ride I'm a fan then again I'm a Ford fanatic
He must have borrowed the zip ties from Dean and Fernando at Fivestar
It’ll be a machine of beauty when you’ve finished, very nice platform for starters - I hope you know a good trimmer mate. Make it functional and consider further electronics; exhaust maximum 2.5” (either bank) or it’ll drone. Pacemaker headers? A sh1t load of work ahead of you, do enjoy 🇦🇺✌🏽
Custom titanium headers. Check out PFI speed to see what they do. They will be slick, and nicer looking than some off the shelf number. (There are a lot of fabricators that can cut, bend and tig)
That would be sweet
Bad ass
