Vehicle Description
When you see a bare metal hot rod that's slammed to the ground and
has a tall V8, you know it isn't your grandfather's 1930 Ford Model
A Roadster. And the way this hand-formed all-aluminum body has been
polished to a chrome-like shine lets you know it gets parked ahead
of those family heirlooms at the car shows.
Bare metal builds are often about showing off industrial toughness,
but this one is pure artful elegance. After all, the closer you
look, the more you'll realize that when a car gets left with
nothing to hide, it can only use the best panels. So while this
gives off the instant impression that the bad boy arrived, you'll
really be taking pride in the workmanship. And the quality is in
more than just the bare body. This is a thoughtful build where the
speed holes are evenly spaced on the windshield frame and rear
panel so there's fashion within the function. The rear spun
aluminum fuel tank is protected by a strong cage. And the suicide
doors allow for inside hinges so that nothing gets in the way of
the beautiful curves of the hand-formed body. And this loves to
remind everyone that this custom build is still a true classic hot
rod. You see it in the low drop-axle front, motorcycle headlight
pods, and those salt flat style wheels with classic Firestone
tires.
The interior keeps the bare metal attitude, and it's what keeps
this one an award-worthy machine. It's so detailed that they even
made a special dye just to make the seating and side panels look
like a stitched tuck and roll fabric. The dash artfully displays
the full Stewart Warner gauges, the chopped windshield has a sporty
rake, and the steering wheel looks like a classic sports unit. So
this looks like the coolest roadster around...except it's all in a
monotone because it's all bare metal!
This is a modern build of a classic hot rod, and the engine really
brings that idea together nicely. You're looking at one of the most
modern classic small blocks available: a Chevy LT1 motor. All the
best pieces are, of course, aluminum. This includes the heads,
intake, and radiator. It inhales deeply with a Holley 670 Street
Avenger four-barrel carburetor. And those lake-style headers have
glasspack mufflers fitted within so that you have a terrific V8
tune. You get control over this motor better than you'd ever expect
in a hot rod thanks to the six-speed manual transmission. This
feeds into an Auburn 10-bolt Positraction rear end with 4.56 gears
for quick and confident take-offs. There are also Monroe shocks in
the rear and Wilwood disc brakes up front. You'll love looking at
the undercarriage photos where this low mileage build can show off
its full custom reinforced TIG-welded tubular chassis. And it's
fully powder coated to make sure it all looks uniform.
This is a unique build that has already had a few magazine
features, and you can see it's ready for a ton more. So if you're
looking for a roadster with bright and beautiful craftsmanship,
