of and nationally recognized, Butch Payne of Finely Finished

fabrications are as follows: 3 � inch chip, 1932 Header, 1932
double-steel firewall, 1932 cowl vent, double steel floor, steel
sub-frame and a 1933 Grille. The body is finished in Hot Rod Black

painted burnt orange.
A Generation III Chevy 502 Marine engine powers the car, which has
been professionally prepared by More Power Inc. The motor is bored
to 515 and features a 4-bolt main, roller rocker assemble,
Competition Cam, fed by a Holly 870 4-Barrel Carburetor producing
478.9 Horsepower at 5200 RPM and a face ripping 538.1 pound feet of
torque at 3200 RPM. All this power is transferred by a fortified
Turbo 350 automatic transmission and applied by a desirable and
trick Winters polished aluminum Quick-Change rear end. Other

Hair pins, power front and rear brakes with all stainless steel
brake lines, Moroso transmission cooler, 11 inch drums, Aeromotive
