This is my Hot Rod.
 


The body appears to have originally been a marriage of a 1926-27 Ford Model T (front section, up to the end of the seat) and a 1924-25 Dodge Coupe. During restoration, I extensively remodified the the body. 
The body was channeled, sectioned, cowl filled & windshield chopped. The body is mated to a 1947 Ford frame.
 


Many other Henry parts were used in the making & remaking of this Hot Rod that must have been built in the late 1960's or very early 1970's. I was told from the person I bought it from that it was originally from Montana.
 
 


Motor is Ford 302 ci (5 litre).
Dual Holley carbs feeding gas through a Weiand tunnel ram into Ford GT-40 aluminum heads, fired by MSD.
Roller cam motor - 320hp, thru 2800 stall converter into a C-4 transmission that is muscled in all that old Detroit iron.
 
 


The drivetrain is all Ford as well as some of the suspension.
Narrowed Ford 9" housing running 3.89 gears.
 
 


As you can tell, it only goes out for drives on warm sunny days. 
 


Simplicity is never dull.
