| Details: |
This car was built from a door, gas tank and a cowl.
The rest of the body, and frame was hand made by myself. It has a powerglide
trans, 49 Ford rear, and 40 Ford steering.
It was built for just over $5000.00 and consists of a 283 pulled from a 1961 Ccorvette. The transmission is a 2 speed powerglide taken from a 1963 Impala,
which is shifted by a 62 Chevy II SS floor shifter. The power is transferred to
the 1950 ford rear end where it is then spent on a set of red stripe cheater
slicks. The slicks as well as the Weind 3 duece intake, carbs and the
original 32 grill shell were all found in a local rodders basement.
The body was hand fabricated from 20 guage sheet metal. Well, most of it
anyway. I started with a door, cowl, and gastank to a 1928 ford roadster and then
formed the rest. The frame is also hand made from 2x3 box tubing from front to back, where it
meets up with a stock model A rear spring mt.
The car was built entirely by myself with the exception of the interior
which was stitched by the able hands of Armondos Auto Upholstry in Lakeside, CA.
