Vehicle Description
This 1936 Ford 5 Window has lived its life in Texas, making for a
great rust free original body. The fenders are Wescott fiberglass
and the running boards are Drake steel. It is covered in dark slate
gray PPG 2 stage paint and exterior trim is completely new. It has
new floors throughout and the body has been meticulously worked.
The roof has received a California chop by lowering it 1.5 inches
in front and none in the rear. The running boards and hood have
been stretched 1 inch. Additionally, the body has been channeled 1
inch. The combination of these modifications gives the car a great
stance and look. The headlights are modified Guide 472 housings
with 7 inch halogen lamps. And the rear taillights are from a 37
Ford. All the glass is new smoked grey tint (not film) and features
Specialty Power Window kits. It has a new chrome windshield frame
as well as new chrome side molding. The hood is equipped with Dan
Fink latch system that allows both sides to be opened. The doors
feature bear claw latches and with safety pin latches. The engine
compartment is very clean and features a Bitchin 5 inch setback
firewall. The gas filler is located behind the license plate frame
that has been installed upside down to insure it does not rattle.
It is connected to a custom built stainless gas tank by Rock
Valley.
The 350 Chevrolet engine was built professionally by Barrett
Engines out of Oklahoma City with all the right parts. It has an
Edelbrock carburetor and manifold to insure a smooth running motor.
The alternator and AC compressor are installed using Allen Grove
brackets. It has a MSD HEI ignition system and Sanderson ceramic
coated headers with 2.5 inch exhaust run all the way out the back
of the car. The engine is kept running cool by a mechanical fan and
a Walker Z radiator. You won't find a bunch of billet to have to
polish and the valve covers have been powder coated black to make
it easy to keep a clean looking motor. The engine is connected to a
new Turbo 350 built by Phoenix Transmissions which shifts smooth
and will never let you down. The power is then put to the road
through a 9 inch Ford rear end equipped with 3.08 gears. This gear
ratio gives plenty of space to open up and roar down the highway
with no problem, making this street rod perfect for rod runs nation
wide. It rides on 5 spoke Halibrand wheels with new Michelin tires.
Stopping is handled by power assisted front disc brakes and 11 inch
rear drums with an ECI Master cylinder.
The suspension has been completely rebuilt with the best. The
Heidts Mustang II front end with full tubular A-Arms coupled with
adjustable coil over shocks gives a smooth ride down the road. It
has a Flaming River Rack & Pinion with a close ratio gear box to
make the manual steering very easy. The rear suspension is handled
by a Chassis Engineering parallel leaf spring kit with cross member
and a custom built torsion bar. The custom interior is done in
Oxblood high grade real leather and suede. The Glide seat is
incredibly comfortable and allows plenty of room. Plus there is
enough storage room behind the seat for a couple of small suitcases
for overnight trips. A custom console is made with cup holders (a
feature often left out of street rods). The new stereo is mounted
behind the seat and is easily controlled by a remote control. It
also includes the plug so you can connect your phone and listen to
your favorite tunes. Other nice features include an Ididit steering
column, a 40s style steering wheel, a Vintage Air AC/heat unit,
Gennie shifter, Bob Drake interior hardware, So Cal switches and a
complete Painless wiring system. You will also find a nice set of
one off Classic Instrument gauges with a Moon tachometer. The
entire interior has received a coating of Lizard Skin heat/sound
barrier in additional to Dynamat throughout to provide a nice quite
ride. The trunk has received the same custom upholstery work as the
main passenger compartment.
This car is basically brand new. It has the look, stance and sound
that will draw attention whenever you take it for a drive.
