You are viewing a First-Edition hardtop designed by Rat’s Glass. This Roadster is the first car created by Rat’s Glass that features the front and rear fender package, along with the running boards.
For Sale OR Will Consider any trades OR looking for a Prowler plus cash.
Builder Robin Retallack of the Rod Shop began with an Alloway's specially designed Chassis to fit the Rat's Glass body. The shop installed tubular cross members throughout the rectangular frame rails. From there, the door bottoms have been modified in the front and back versus the standard square cuts. All of the frame welds have been ground smooth and molded. Even the fuel lines were hidden inside the frame to help enhance the smooth look. Keeping with the custom theme, the rear fenders were "Bobbed" 6 inches to help you see the Currie Enterprises polished rear end filled with 3.25 gears. The removable top was fabricated to finish the Roadster look and has custom billet pieces made by Jim Rench. The top is laid back 2 inches to give the car a faster appearance and better profile. The dash is filled with Classic Instrument's gauges, Painless Wiring, Lecarra Steering Wheel, Hidden Radio with 10 Disc CD unit, Southern Heat, Ididit column, Krist Kustoms Seats and then covered with Dove Gray Leather. Suspension consists of a 4 Bar, Alden Coilovers, Heidt's Stainless IFS, Polished R/P Steering and 4 wheel polished Wilwood disc brakes. This beautiful street rod is rolling on 17-inch front and 20-inch rear Boyd Coddington Magneto Wheels. The power plant is a stout Ford 302 SVO roller cam engine with SVO aluminum heads, Mooneyes valve covers, Polished intake and cooled with a Steve Long aluminum radiator. The Roadster is totally done in Dynamat for reduced sound inside the Roadster. A C-4 tranny by TCI was used and the sound is coming through polished 2.5 inch stainless steel exhaust and a polished drive shaft. To finish out the overall aesthetics of this 1933 Ford Roadster, PPG Roadhouse Blue paint was applied with additional five grams of red pearl.
