Vehicle Description
Shimmering Slate Grey paint and finely-finished woodwork are just
the beginning of this 1951 Ford Woody custom that garnered the 2005
Goodguys Custom of the Year and MSRA Custom of the Year awards.
Rather than one or two prominent highlights, its coachwork is an
amalgam of carefully chosen alterations such as a 2-inch chop,
shaved rain gutters and door handles, one-piece door, quarter and
curved windshield glass and a pied and pancaked hood. Flipped and
tightened bumpers, turn signals integrated into the running lights,
1939 Ford taillights and custom firewall and fender liners complete
the exterior work, while the Light Tan interior is one of the
cleanest custom jobs imaginable. The custom boxed stock frame
incorporates a 2002 Camaro LS1 engine and 4L60E transmission, a
16-gallon plastic fuel tank, rack and pinion steering, Wilwood
front disc and 8-inch drum rear brakes, all riding on Pirelli tires
mounted on large diameter Intro wheels. HIGHLIGHTS - 2002 Camaro
