Body modifications started with a 48 super DXL. 42,000 mile (one
owner car) The top was cut and chopped 3 1/2 then a modified all
steel hand built top was fit to the rear beltline with 5" added
between deck lid and cockpit opening. Five locating pins positions
the top and one allen bolt behind the rear view mirror secures it
in place. The trunk floor was altered and accommodates a 25 gallon
gas tank. Both front and rear bumper pans are rolled and hand
formed with character lines to match the flow of the car. Tail
lights and park lights were also hand worked to carry on the theme.
French headlights, grille, fenders, running board and windshields
keep the aerodynamics flowing. The hood has been lengthened 1' with
a filled center strip. The dash board is fitted from a 49 Ford with
tinted glass over the cluster. Also incorporated is a hidden center
panel containing the accessory switches and Pioneer C.D. The window
moldings were modified and swept into the dash (roadster style) and
the air conditioning ducts were hand built to fit the dash. The
60/40 bender seat was altered to fold forward for rear access and
to comfortably recline. The tops of the doors at the rear and
fronts of quarters were cut and rolled inward to get better
aerodynamic design flow. The leather interior and headliner was
completely hand crafted. The 500' cad engine has been color keyed
to the interior and fitted with a hand built batwing air cleaner.
Also install was a lunati cam kit, Pertronix flame thrower
ignition, 850 spread bore carb and jet coated headers. Hooked on
behind is a modified 700R4 w/ overdrive trans. Mustang style front
suspension with tubular A-arms, gas shock absorbers, power rack &
pinion, disc brakes. Everything is pushed by a 9" ford rear end
with triangular four bar coil spring holders and geared with a 3:25
positrac. Custom 2 1/2" exhaust with aero chamber mufflers makes
her purr and a walker 4 cone radiator with 16' fan keeps it cool.
The chrome wheels were custom built by Colorado Custom producing
16x7 fronts 4 1/2" B.S. 17"x13" 2 1/2" B.S. rears with 215x16 BFGS,
345x55 BFGS. Last but not least the refinishing is done in black
base coat and four coats of clear. If you are showing, cruising or
