What do you get when you combine the aesthetic traits of a
show-worthy street rod with the drivability of a modern hot rod?
This all-steel, national award-winning Ford roadster! With the
universal appeal of high dollar eye candy, and the road going
prowess of a late model cruiser, this slick street rod is a
professionally built custom that grants its owner the best of both
worlds. And what's better: you can have your show stopper and drive
it too for a fraction of the money and time it takes to complete a
ground-up build!
BODYWORK/TRIM
An award-winning custom that's capped with solid steel, this fully
sorted Ford is the perfect mix of outrageous mechanical prowess and
classic hot rod attitude. The car's straight and solid body, a
complete outfit supplied by Dearborn Deuce, really comes to life
under rich House Of Kolor Kandy Wine and PPG Orion Silver 2-stage.
At the front of that pigment, color-keyed frame rails center a
polished spreader between a polished grille, modern, polished
headlights and small, polished parking lamps. Behind that grille, a
clam shell hood fronts a stainless-trimmed windshield, which
reflects a glass backlite under a cloth top that folds entirely in
to the car's body. Beneath that glass, a striped and pinstriped
profile centers shaved doors under elegant mirrors. And at the back
of that profile, a shaved decklid shades LED taillights and
polished stainless exhaust tips.
ENGINE
Enact this roadster's custom hood hinges and you'll find 431 cubic
inches of Ford FE V8. Overbored, rebuilt and fully polished, that
buff center oiler twists beefy 10 to 1 compression into 428
horsepower and 485 lb./ft. of torque. At the top of the mill, a
color-keyed air cleaner feeds a chrome Edelbrock 4-barrel that's
tethered between a braided fuel line and a lightweight aluminum
intake. At the sides of that carb, low riser heads hang 86cc
combustion chambers between color-keyed valve covers, forged TRW
pistons and a Comp flat-tappet cam. At the front of those heads, an
aftermarket distributor sequences spark between an MSD Blaster 2
coil and thick MSD Super Conductor plug wires. Beneath those wires,
coated Sanderson block huggers cage a chrome starter. In front of
those tubes, billet pulleys spin a polished alternator opposite a
coated AC compressor. And an aluminum radiator keeps everything
cool with the help of a polished expansion tank, a chrome cooling
fan and a snazzy "V8" branded cap.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
The edgy motor twists torque through a Green Dot C4 to a Speedway
Engineering Super Max quick change that's finished with 3.70 gears
and a posi-traction differential. Those mechanicals ride on a boxed
TCI chassis that, extended 4 inches, rolls a polished Mustang II
front-clip in front of a polished 4-bar rear-clip. Modern
rack-and-pinion steering leads polished Wilwood calipers, which
clamp 11-inch drilled and slotted rotors. At the center of the
floor, coated exhaust funnels a deep roar through polished Dynomax
mufflers. And power meets the pavement thanks to polished Bonspeed
Deltas, which spin 225/45ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As in front of
265/50R20 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As.
INTERIOR
Inside this premium roadster, leather and ostrich hides, installed
by Rapids Upholstery of Sauk Rapids, Minnesota, complement tasteful
House Of Kolor pigment. A broad Wise Guys bench rides piped carpet
that frames custom pedals and a familiar Lokar shifter. In front of
that throne, a custom dash hangs Classic Instruments American
Muscle telemetry above Vintage Air climate control and buttons for
modern power windows. And in front of the driver, a polished
steering wheel spins a leather-wrapped rim around a tilting Ididit
column.
