    Hey guys! A short one just going through the removal and repair of the front of the 1937 Chevy! It needed some bent bars fixed, and some dings knocked out of the stainless, so I figured I had better do it all before I put the hood back on to go for a drive!

    Scott,your attention to detail is unmatched...The top shell to your grille looks about as perfect as it ever did. I worked at a plating shop for 11 years and spent many,many hours repairing and polishing car parts. None of us could have done any better than you did.What it comes down to is willingness to do the work...

    Love these quick midweek episodes! Great way to get a quick CWM fix.
    “I’m just going to clean this up a little and make it more presentable. Not a restoration.”
    Scott then proceeds to make it look better than anything I could ever do. Why I love this show.

      Dear billy hord.
      👍👌👏 As a Mercedes Benz driver I know exactly what you are talking about. Unfortunately they real grills stopped to be on their cars around 1995 (last real one was on the W124 type).
      Best regards, luck and health in particular.

    Great episode! I give you a LOT of respect for giving your niece the credit for her work around the shop. Kudos to you for teaching and her parents for raising a child with a passion for automobiles. Loved the "shave and a haircut" on the grill and grill shell. I always learn something watching you massage dents out of tight spaces. Most important lesson? Knowing when to stop. Hardest thing to learn? Knowing when to stop. 😅😅 Happy Weekend!

    I never get tired of these midweek updates. Your niece did a fantastic job cleaning up the front. Amazing work on the grille. I’m really glad that you don’t have all the trim work to do here that you had on the Fury. That was brutal. Now I am anxiously awaiting Saturday. 👍 Scott.

    Dear CWM Scott N.
    👍👌👏 I absolutely love when your videos have this happy puppy introduction! 2) Another nearly unbelievable fantastic repair result. I'm totally impressed but not amazed after witnessing all the great trim repair for the spliced Fury. It was extraordinary good ane I would probably never have the patience and discipline to have done all that.
    3) Of course, after the snow is gone, I'm very eagerly awaiting the first test drive. Golden Chev will be fun to watch.
    Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading, sharing and especially for not cussing/swearing.
    Best regards luck and especially health to all involved life forms (humans and dog).

    Very nice work Scott! I'm always impressed how any project you tackle is never just a 50/50 result. It's always so well done. The Chevy in that "survivor" condition is a dream car for me! My father took me to those awesome 1970's car shows and got me so into 1935-1950 era cars. I like all classic cars, but those will always be my favorites.

I wish I could ride with you in it. Be ever SO PROUD of all that you do and all that you share with us! Cheers, Rich

    *GRILLE* , not *GRILL* ya heathens! 🙂
    As much as I admire your metal repair expertise, Scott - I think it's equal parts admiration for your *patience*
    when doing such tasks, too. The satisfaction once done properly must be a wonderful thing, my friend.
    Maybe one day, knock wood and grace of God, I can get off the hamster wheel and attempt to do some
    of the same sort of thing, too...rather than the usual "get this done, then get that done, nose to the
    grindstone" BS that pays the bills here.
    Another great mini-visit, a couple more really old episodes re-discovered this week and *thank you!*

    Transforming what was already an eye-catching car, the grille fixes were to the usual top standard. My brother was visiting and we watched together, he doesn't normal "do UA-cam" so didn't believe my "just wait they'll be no visible dents or marks". I felt he was right when you showed us the undented but sanded pieces... then after polishing it was Oh wow!

    The bottom buckets of the grilles on all the late 30's GM cars were often victims of curbs, and other obstructions. It is rare to find one that doesn't need repair or hasn't had repair done.
