BODYWORK/TRIM

With most street rods theres usually a single piece that catches your eye long before anything else. And thats often a demerit to the overall presentation of the car. In an effort to set their creation apart builders sometimes add overwrought elements that become more of a distraction than a selling point; especially as the project ages. Not so with this roadster... EVERY piece of its puzzle fits right and tight on the way to upholding a great vision of what hot rodding is supposed to be. Step back and admire the shape of the cars Rats Glass body. Stretched 1.5 inches and completed by custom guru Jack Sheppard its the kind of profile that would turn heads in primer. So what better way to ensure sore neck muscles than adding a slick layer of DuPont Chrome Yellow and several coats of clear? If youre a hardcore gearhead that likes to rise above the crowd this awesome Ford is one classic thats guaranteed to pop eyes and drop jaws anywhere you choose to go.

Of course dramatic paint and bodywork doesnt necessarily make up for terrible detailing. But naturally this well-executed custom strikes an excellent balance between unique and utilitarian. At the front of the car a polished grille aligns between modern tri-bar headlights. Behind that grille a 3-piece steel hood flows to a classy Duvall windshield thats filled with tastefully smoked glass. At the sides of that hood a characteristically clean and simple profile presents shaved doors hidden hinges and uninterrupted form. And at the back of that profile a shaved decklid rides above a folding tag chrome exhaust pipes and traditional tail lamps. Its hard to beat the appeal of a well-done Ford roadster. And this Ford with its virtually timeless aesthetics essentially defines its class.

ENGINE

Cosmetics aside this hot rod continues the theme of high performance neck snapper. Lift its steel hood and youll find 468 cubic inches of Chevrolet V8 that was professionally assembled by Steve Mills Racing of Colorado Springs Colorado. At the top of that Chrome Yellow monster a coated Holley 770 mixes wind supplied by a polished air filter with fuel thats piped through a small Summit pressure gauge polished stainless fluid lines and a tightly braided hose. That air/fuel mixture floods an Edelbrock tunnel ram intake on the way to Edelbrock Performer heads which hang polished valve covers over coated Sanderson headers. At the back of those headers a proven MSD distributor sequences spark through thick Taylor Thundervolt wires. At the front of those wires polished pulleys spin a polished alternator above a coated Edelbrock water pump. In front of that pump a fresh Walker radiator circulates coolant around a custom shroud and giant SPAL puller fan. And all the little things like polished breathers a coated fuel pump
