Vehicle Description
Mixing all the best traits of modern street rodding with world
class planning and assembly, this brilliant Ford is a standout
anywhere it rolls! Of course, to pull off an incredible build like
this, everything you do HAS to be flawless. And, from this
roadster's striking Brookville body to its proven LS powertrain and
one-off, custom interior, there's simply nowhere subpar workmanship
can hide. Looking for a quintessential classic that's road ready,
show-ready and just plain ready to rock and roll? Roll up the metal
curtain and crank up this fantastic Ford!
ALL-STEEL, ALL STYLE
Built to be a top tier example of timeless Ford metal, this razor
sharp roadster is constructed on a solid foundation of premium
Brookville steel that's been professionally massaged by Boss
Performance of New London, Ohio. Precision stamping resulted in a
durable and authentic custom that, in addition to requiring minimal
paint prep, retains all its original lines, functional parts and
structural integrity. Stunning panels display smooth vertical
planes and an arrow-straight profile that would give any
high-dollar garage queen a serious run for its money. Since a
profile that nice deserves to be seen and celebrated, it wears deep
Axalta two-stage that's somehow delightfully fresh while being
decidedly vintage. And all that style slays UV rays thanks to a
professional, three-stage ceramic coating.
The show starts with color-keyed frame horns, which hang a painted
spreader beneath a polished So-Cal headlight bar, dual-mode Ford
Twolites and a polished grille. A four-piece hood runs custom
louvers, stamped by the artists at The Forge, toward a
power-operated cowl that's centered on a two-inch chopped
windshield. That glass plants a polished frame between traditional
hot rod mirrors and a lift-off Rod Tops roof that, along with
weather-proof side curtains, can be disassembled and stowed in the
car's trunk. Shaved doors lead custom rear corners, fashioned by
The Forge, and a traditional fuel tank, tinged with a polished cap.
And that tank floats fossils behind a polished spreader and stylish
'37 Ford taillights that have been fitted with LEDs and mounted on
stainless stands.
LS TOO
Fold the hood and you'll find an even six liters of reliable LS2
small block that, thanks to the pros at Norwalk, Ohio's Harbert
Automotive, provides instant access to roughly 500 horsepower! At
the top of that smooth-cruising mill, a familiar Spectre filter
element feeds a familiar GM intake. That intake feeds ported
Precision Race Components heads, which sail custom coil covers over
COMP valve springs, LS7 lifters, COMP retainers and COMP trunnion
rockers. A Howards ASA-spec roller cam spins between coated Mahle
pistons and 6.125-inch H-beam rods. GM fuel injection works well
with proven GM coils, which fire pliable Accel wires. Exhaust exits
through big stainless tubes that were custom-fabricated by Berea,
Ohio's Ultimate Headers. A KWiK Performance serpentine drive spins
an aluminum water pump beneath a quality Powermaster alternator and
a compact Sanden AC compressor. Speaking of water, cooling is
provided by custom Superior Radiator aluminum that's outfitted with
a quick-spinning puller fan and a polished expansion tank. And
everything stays in check thanks to a professional tune that was
completed by Medina, Ohio's Backstreet Performance.
ONE OF A KIND
Pull this impressive Ford on a lift and you'll find a completely
custom chassis that was created by the same skilled fabricators who
prepped the car's all-steel body. Beginning with custom-boxed
American Stamping frame rails, Ohio's Boss Performance added custom
crossmembers, a custom transmission support, custom stabilizer
bars, and custom torsion tube and shock mounts. All that spice
rides a triangulated 4-bar rear-clip that's finished with
adjustable Viking coil-overs. That clip pushes stainless hairpins,
which tilt adjustable Viking shocks around a 2-inch drop axle and
2-inch drop spindles. A hydraulic clutch, sourced directly from
American Powertrain, kicks a tough Tremec T56 6-speed. That gearbox
spins a custom Henderson Driveline driveshaft to a 9-inch Ford axle
that's built with a Traction Lok differential and 4:10 gears. Turns
come courtesy of a manual Unisteer rack. Stops are provided by
manual Wilwood calipers, which clamp 20 pistons around drilled,
slotted and vented rotors. Custom stainless pipes cage throaty
Borla mufflers. And at the corners of the car, custom Vintage
Wheels Knock-Offs spin 225/50R16 Diamond Back redlines in front of
285/60R18 Diamond Back redlines.
ENJOY THE RIDE
Between the doors, custom leather upholstery takes clean and
stylish form thanks to the pros at New London, Ohio's Hide
Originals. Six-way adjustable seats feature four-point Crow
Enterprizes harnesses that can double as simple lap belts. Those
red-stitched buckets ride fade-free carpet, which frames a custom
console, spaced Kugel Komponents pedals and a billet American
Powertrain shifter. A custom dash centers clean Dakota Digital VHX
telemetry over trick ignition and Vintage Air climate control.
Custom side panels add nice texture. And the driver spins a
leather-wrapped Quick Release Steering Wheel around a raised column
that, along with an enlarged footwell, makes this roadster
comfortable for drivers of all sizes.
It's impossible to guess how many hours it took to construct this
awesome Ford. But, given the lengthy list of equipment that went in
to its build, our asking price probably wouldn't even cover the
components, let alone labor. At first glance, the car appears to be
a basic and simple piece, but an acute attention to detail and
amazing quality earn your appreciation almost instantly. All that
said, one thing is certain: thrilling and timeless, there's simply
no hiding how brilliant this roadster is when it's centerstage!
