Used a 350 ramjet crate motor and new richmond 4 speed after all REAL hot rods have 3 pedals.I adapted the old corvette valve cover to the new style heads to disguise it a bit. I tried real hard to not kill it with chrome but it did have ice cold air and a few of my own ideas. No this was traditional not a pile lf cobled up crap of E-bay.

I built a brandnew 9 inch ford on my jig for it so the tires fit perfect and the rear was dead nuts straight. You cant get them straight with out a jig. I fix other shops messes all the time. Notice the 37 Nash in the back ground.One of mine.

Bruce, I remember that project. What a classy car. You do great work. Can`t wait to see the 36 finished.


The best engine is the vagina. It can be started with one finger. Self lubricating. Fits all size pistons. The pity is the management system is so fucking tempermental.

Thanks Ed. It was a fun car to build(no used parts all new) . Its sad i dont know what happened to it as the owner passed away. He did call me a year after it had been finished, just before he passed and told me what fun he had with it...... :(
