Description

For your consideration, have listed here a true work of art. This is the result of years and years of thinking, tudying, lanning, nd finally constructing what the owner felt was the perfect late '30's fat fendered Ford custom. Inspired by the work of Harry Westergard, he owner liked the lines of a '36 Ford, ut felt it to be too short for that long, ow look. He also felt the trunk lid on a '36 looked lost in the rear body. The solution: graft a '40 Ford rear clip to the '36 cab cowl and doors. The bodies were grafted at the door post, ut the wrap around upper body panel was left from the '36, llowing for the use of '36 top irons. This stretched the wheelbase approxiamately 4-5" and cleaned the trunk area up with the nicer lines of the '40. That fulfilled the "long", ow for the "low". The body is sectioned over the chassis to bring it closer to earth, nd the rockers are reworked to eliminate the running boards. Then the front fenders were peaked at the back, nd moved upward towards the hood to line up with the rockers. In order to accomplish this, he hood sides as well as the grill had to be sectioned. The hood tops were combined and hinged at the rear. The fronts of the rear fenders were also reworked to eliminate the running boards, nd a pair of custom stone guards were fabricated and installed. Finally the whole body was massaged and painted with PPG basecoat/clearcoat urethane and color sanded and polished to perfection.
All that is placed on a custom, ubular chassis with a Heidt's Superide independent front suspension, orvette independent rear, nd power 4 wheel disc brakes. The engine is a crate unit from Street and Performance. It is a 350 TPI, hromed and polished everywhere. Transmission is a 700R4 with a Lokar shifter. Interior ammenities include a Glide Engineering seat, intage Air, laming River tilt column, intage Air, nd leather upholstery.
This car is not only gorgeous, t works. Starts, uns, tops, teers and drives fantastic. It is quiet, ight, mooth, omfortable and reliable.
