This is a 100% all steel traditional hot rod. NOT a Rat Rod.

It was done all right. The body is a 1930 Ford tudor sedan. chopped 4 inches. and channeled for inches over the frame.

The frame is a Pete & Jakes 1930 Model A frame with a dropped I-Beam Super Bell front axle. safe yet so-cool front disc brakes with hairpins in the front.

Ladder bars in the rear hold the Ford 9-Inch rear end with coil-over shocks.

The rearend has highway gears allowing the car to snort down the Interstate at 80 and not breathe hard.

The engine is an authentic 1953/54 era 264 Buick Nailhead completely rebuilt with Egge pistons and components (punched . 40 over so it's about a 5. 0 now we estimate).

Carbs type – 3 x 2.

Center carb is brand new.

1 and 3 have Charlie Price bases on them.

Vintage Speed/Charlie Price Linkage and finned and polished air cleaner housing.

Headlights type – Original vintage lights and housings with guide lights converted to LED blinkers.

Rims - our best guess is WWII era Dodge military rims

Keeps the sun and most of the rain out when needed.

Transmission turbo 350 with a mild race kit

Custom one-of-a-kind punched aluminum grill insert (Lake City Rod and Custom)

Metal work - 4 inch chop and 4 inch channel performed by Randy Gribble of Lake City Rod and Custom.

He's had many cars published and does amazing work.

Steering column – modelled after an old racer with a removable steering wheel

Gauges - All Stewart Warner black face with motor-turned surround.

The hood that you see in the "unpainted" picture is included as well.

It is painted.

I never got around to putting together a good fastening system.

This isn't an off-the-shelf hot rod with a bow-tie engine.

EVERYBODY turns and looks when this car pulls into a show. or is just tooling around town.

Respect.

Issues with the car.

None.

We just drove it two hours to a show. and two hours back.

It ran like a champ.

Minor tire wear marks on the body from before I put the correct spacers on.

Live and Learn.

Lots of other details almost too many to mention.

Look at the pics.

This isn't a plastic reproduction with a small block 350 Chevrolet.

This is American automotive history painstakingly put together.

I have too much stuff.

Sadly this one needs to go to a good home.

If you have ANY questions please

You will be responsible to pick up the car. or have it transported. and any and all costs associated with it. including insurance.

Good luck!
