Vehicle Description
Invested with nearly $375,000 and 6,000 hours of dedicated
craftsmanship, this build has only 195 miles on it. It features a
Hilborn 502 CI fuel-injected engine, a Gearstar model 4L60
automatic transmission, Wilwood brakes, air conditioning, heating,
power windows, and remote door poppers. The vehicle stands on
Budnik Gasser wheels, has been chopped, and transformed into a
two-door marvel. Its custom chassis is equipped with a Ridetech
suspension.
This exceptional show car clinched the "Radical Wagon" award at the
2010 Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, California. A simple
internet search for '1950 Tin Woody' will bring up this car
effortlessly.
Approaching this car, its Woody identity is unmistakable, with a
deep, rich brown metallic finish that accentuates the honey-colored
wood grain. The meticulously hand-painted wood grain showcases
incredible artistry, especially in the finger and miter joints. The
seamless body lines, accentuated by handleless doors and a chopped
roof, flow elegantly. The Ridetech air suspension ensures the car
maintains an impressive stance at various levels, complemented by
10-spoke chromed Budnik wheels.
Under the hood lies a powerful Hilborn-built 502 ci fuel-injected
engine, capable of delivering over 500 horsepower. The attention to
detail here is remarkable, with a sparkling firewall and fender
wells, and exquisite paintwork featuring two-toned brown and
pinstriping. Amidst this splendor is an array of chrome components,
from the alternator to the AC unit. The valve covers are a
masterpiece, with 'Chevrolet' inscribed in shadow work that creates
an illusion of floating letters.
The underside of the car mirrors the craftsmanship of the rest.
Painted to match the engine area, it's a delight to behold, from
the Wilwood brakes to the Magnaflow exhaust, and custom line work.
Even the differential's pumpkin ball is adorned with two-toned
paint and pinstriping.
The cabin interior is where comfort and design merge. The layout is
simple yet elegant, with a gauge cluster above the steering column
and a floor-mounted speedometer ahead of the shifter. Controls for
the air ride, radio, and windows are neatly integrated into the
armrest. Perfectly matching wood grain inserts adorn the door
panels, rear floor, and headliner. Holding the Budnik steering
wheel and starting the engine promises an enjoyable ride. This car
is ready for the surf and adventure.
