Vehicle Description
All steel. That's the first thing you should know about this 1947
Austin A40 Hotrod. Built with purpose and attitude, it ditches the
chrome bumpers and door handles for a cleaner, no-nonsense profile.
The shaved firewall and one-piece tilt front end are just the
beginning. Finished in bold yellow with custom pinstriping, this
car wears its Cragar 15" wheels and staggered stance with
pride-215/65R15 fronts and massive 295/50R15 rear Cooper Cobra
tires keep it planted.
Inside, it's custom from top to bottom. The gray vinyl bucket seats
are tight and clean, with vertical accent stitching that fits the
look. Painted dash, billet tilt column, and custom overhead console
are all in play. VDO gauges sit front and center, while the Alpine
AM/FM/CD/AUX stereo handles the soundtrack. Power windows and a
B&M floor shifter round out the interior setup.
A built 355ci small block Chevy backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic
is the muscle. It's got Edelbrock ported heads, an Air-Gap style
intake, Holley 4-barrel carb, MSD distributor, and shorty headers.
Exhaust exits through glasspacks, and cooling is handled by an
aluminum radiator. Out back, a 9-inch rear with 3.55 gears does the
work, tied into a 3-link coilover setup. The front rides on a
mono-leaf with shocks and rack-and-pinion steering. Four-wheel disc
brakes, with Wilwood calipers, keep it civilized.
