Vehicle Description
What happens when you take a '33 Ford body, bolt it to a Total Cost
Involved chassis, drop in a ZZ4 crate engine and pile on a list of
mind-blowing mods? You get one superb street rod that instantly
becomes the center of attention wherever it goes! Wrapping a
traditionally clean appearance in a level of detail that requires
multiple looks to fully comprehend, this incredible coupe is a
choice compilation of top-notch components from some of the biggest
names in the business. And what's better: it's a fully sorted,
professionally finished cruiser that was built, above all else, to
be driven and enjoyed. Want an impressive classic that you can hop
in, turn the key and cruise? Here it is!
SLICK AS GLASS
Professionally finished in late 2010 by Dalton, Georgia's Janow's
Custom Rods, this Ford's Rat's Glass body is the kind of profile
that would turn heads in primer. So, what better way to ensure sore
neck muscles than adding vivid paint and traditional-style mods?
Bright Red 2-stage kicks off with an original '33 Ford grille,
which, finished in Satin Black, deeply contrasts fiberglass Rat's
Glass fenders. Between those fenders, stainless-trimmed headlights
reflect a 3-piece hood, which flows to a chopped and tinted
greenhouse. At sides of that glass, shaved suicide doors swing
polished mirrors, which reflect widened running boards and widened
rear fenders. And those fenders push polished Blue Dot Taillights
past a polished fuel filler and a shaved trunk that's been
pinstriped to match the aforementioned bonnet.
CHEVROLET PERFORMANCE
Fold that steel bonnet and you'll find out exactly where tradition
ends and muscle begins! Sourced directly from Chevrolet
Performance, this coupe's spry personality comes courtesy of a 350
cubic inch ZZ4 crate engine that twists stout 10 to 1 compression
into 355 horsepower and 405 lb./ft. of torque. The mean motor's
energy mixture is supplied by Barry Grant Tri-power induction,
which sandwiches three Demon carburetors between polished air
cleaners, a liquid-filled Russell pressure gauge and a polished
intake. That intake feeds aluminum L98 cylinder heads that hang
polished and painted valve covers between stamped rocker arms,
color-keyed breathers and hypereutectic pistons. That valvetrain
combusts thanks to a forged, internally-balanced crank, powdered
connecting rods and a billet roller cam. Fire for that combustion
comes courtesy of a hot Mallory points distributor and loomed
Taylor plug wires. A Billet Specialties Tru Trac serpentine drive
spins a polished Powermaster alternator opposite a polished AC
compressor. And a quick-spinning puller fan cools a big radiator
while spent gases cycle through coated block hugger headers.
TOP NOTCH FROM THE GROUND UP
Under this impressive custom, a Holeshot 2000 converter kicks a
stainless-trimmed B&M Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed, which jolts
a Currie 9-inch axle. That proven pumpkin pushes a full Total Cost
Involved chassis, which seats spry coil-over-shocks in polished
control arms. Turns are tight thanks to modern rack-and-pinion
steering. Safety is greatly improved by polished calipers and
body-matched drums, which make excellent use of Wilwood
proportioning and modern power-assist. A high-octane soundtrack is
provided by Flowmaster Hushpower mufflers, which are threaded into
coated, Mandrel-bent tubes. And at the corners of the car, polished
Billet Specialties Legacys spin polished knock-offs inside
195/65R15 BF Goodrich Advantage T/As and 275/65R16 BF Goodrich
Radial T/As.
CUSTOM AND COMFORTABLE
Inside this awesome coupe, class is the name of the game as
tasteful Charcoal leather creates a stylish complement to the car's
vivid paint. Pop the doors and you'll find a deep Glide bench
that's both firm and supportive. Front and center, quality Ron
Francis wiring illuminates clean Classic Instruments telemetry next
to modern climate control. Below the dash, a short console falls on
rich carpet, which is protected by piped and color-keyed floor
mats. Sculpted panels hang slim armrests in front of modern power
windows. Bluetooth-compatible JVC audio keeps the tunes pumped. And
in front of the driver, a tilting Ididit column hangs a polished
Billet Specialties wheel in front of a Classic Instruments
knee-knocker tach.

Since so many enthusiasts are now focused on building overly
ostentatious or overtly rusty customs, this somewhat traditional
Ford isn't exactly something you'll see at every show. That said,
its brilliant paint, fully-polished wheels and timeless presence
are sure to get you noticed no matter where you go. After all, is
there anything better than a 2-person crowd-gatherer that barks
through a big V8 and stares through one of the most recognizable
automotive profiles of all time? We think not! Call us up and pick
up your turn-key hot rod.
