What happens when you take a chopped '32 Ford body, bolt it to a
custom frame, drop in a modded Chevrolet V8 and pile on a list of
mind-blowing parts? You get one incredible street rod that
instantly becomes the center of attention wherever it goes!
Featuring a traditionally clean appearance, a custom leather
interior, and a level of detail that requires multiple looks to
fully comprehend, this sweet 3-window is a compilation of top-notch
components from some of the biggest names in the business. And
what's better: it's a fully sorted cruiser that was built, above
all else, to be driven and enjoyed. If you're the kind of
enthusiast who wants an impressive classic that you can hop in,
turn the key and go cruising with, your chariot has arrived!
GREATNESS IN GLASS
This Ford's detailed, ground-up build began with a high quality
Downs fiberglass body that features a stylish chop and familiar
suicide doors. Naturally, that fresh resin was carefully prepped,
layered in bold red 2-stage and lit with wicked, green-lined
flames. And today, wrapping killer SoCal aesthetics around fully
sorted mechanicals, this coupe rolls as a choice classic that
simply oozes cool! At the front of the car, a steel shell centers a
polished grille between Adjure motorcycle headlights. Behind that
grille, a louvered, 3-piece hood leads a tinted greenhouse that's
cleared by a small, roof-mounted wiper. At the sides of that glass,
electronically-popped doors swivel small billet mirrors. And at the
back of the car, flush taillights frame a shaved decklid.
SMALL BLOCK STANDARD
Activate this Ford's trick Dan Fink Double Opening hood hardware
and you'll find 350 cubic inches of trusty Chevy small block. The
polished and color-keyed mill revs under a coated, Lokar-controlled
Holley, which rides between a reduced-diameter air cleaner and a
proven Edelbrock Performer 2101 intake. At the perimeter of that
intake, cast iron heads tilt polished and finned valve covers
between polished Edelbrock breathers and coated block hugger
headers. At the back of those covers, an aftermarket distributor
sequences spark through loomed Taylor plug wires. In front of those
wires, polished serpentine components spin a polished alternator
opposite a polished AC compressor. At the front of those
ancillaries, a big Walker radiator circulates clean coolant past a
polished expansion tank and a large puller fan. And, speaking of
ancillaries, items like a polished starter, a polished oil pan and
trick dipsticks round out the details.
UPDATES AND UPGRADES
Under this impressive custom, a dressed and cooled Turbo-Hydramatic
350 3-speed engages an aluminum driveshaft to spin power through a
9-inch Ford axle. That axle pushes a triangulated 4-bar suspension
that's dampered with modern coil-over-shocks. Opposite that 4-bar,
polished steering threads polished wishbones, which cage a polished
axle and two more modern coil-overs. That suspension rolls under a
full Total Cost Involved chassis, which is bolted to insulated
floors. A steady stream of fossils pressurizes braided lines thanks
to an electric Mr. Gasket pump. Power-assisted stops come courtesy
of polished calipers and more braided lines. Exhaust traverses
heat-wrapped pipes, which center polished, glasspack-style mufflers
in front of polished stainless tips. And at the corners of the
floor, chromed American Racing Novas spin 225/45ZR17 BF Goodrich
g-Force T/As in front of 295/45R20 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As.
STYLE AND SUBSTANCE
Inside this clean coupe you'll find a custom leather interior that
provides stylish contrast to the car's brilliant profile. Front and
center, bolstered buckets feel firm and supportive under discreet
shoulder belts. In front of those seats, a body-matched dash
centers crisp Shark Gauges behind a billet instrument panel. At the
edges of that dash, billet handles front custom side panels, which
front power-operated windows. Opposite those panels, a small
console toggles a tall Lokar shifter behind billet-trimmed air
conditioning. Opposite that console, a sculpted headliner frames
modern audio. And in front of the driver, a polished steering wheel
laps billet foot pedals, a bright Super Pro tach and a polished,
tilting column.
Since so many enthusiasts are focused on building traditional
muscle cars, this Ford isn't exactly something you'll see at every
show. And its chrome suspension, stylish wheels, bright paint and
literal feet of flames 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 rowdy V8 and stares through
outrageous aesthetics? We think not. Come in and pick up your
turn-key hot rod today!
