When people first started modifying cars there weren’t any big shops doing the work, it was just enthusiasts in their home garage building cool rides. Scott Demmitt’s V10-powered 1937 Ford Coupe absolutely lives in that same space considering he, along with the help of family and friends, built this impressive car in his home garage. This Ford is a legit home-built hot rod of the highest caliber.

There’s really nothing off-the-shelf about Scott’s Ford. The chassis was custom-built to work with all of the donor parts from a 2000 Viper GTS. Scott grafted the Viper’s power steering system, front and rear IRS, differential, and brakes to the chassis. A Ridetech Shock Wave system gives the Ford its killer stance.

Scott used a Downs-manufactured body and then had Mongoose lay down all the paint. All of the graphics were taken care of by Todd’s Extreme Paint. A Micro keyless entry system makes door handles useless and helps to keep the body looking smooth.

Under the hood of the Ford is a V10 Viper powerplant that was lifted from a 2000 Viper GTS. Behind the big Mopar mill is a 47RH three-speed transmission with overdrive. A MoTec ECU that’s tuned by Proxes controls the engine and transmission.

The interior of Scott’s Ford Coupe is very luxurious. The Viper seats have been reupholstered with crest leather. You’ll find a cashmere suede headliner in the car along with carpet from Mercedes. The dash is filled with Dakota Digital HDX gauges and a Kicker stereo system.

“I need to thank everyone who helped make this build possible. My family, Rick Reigs, Chad Johnson, George Antrobius, Ken Sullivan, Andrew Denligner, and Ed Holbrook all played a massive role in getting the project done. I also need to thank Anderson Custom Interiors, Mcllvain Racecars, and Klophenstein Racecars for all their assistance,” Scott says.

Scott Demmitt’s 1937 Ford Coupe is a build that’s on par with what any top-tier shop can put together. The attention to detail on the car is magnificent and the Viper engine cranks up the cool factor to 11. If you happen to see Scott’s car at a show, take some time and really look it over to see how well all the features come together.
