Hot Rods 4th of July weekend, show how you will celebrate with your hot rod or custom

Tell us about the sedan, the frame set up and the wheels and tires, the car sits perfect. HRP

 

Thanks Danny. I boxed the original frame. I didn’t “Z” it because I wanted to retain the original back seat. It has 57 Ford 9 inch with 3.70 posi mounted with Pete & Jakes ladder bars and quarter eliptic springs and hydraulic shocks . Up front SoCal forged dropped axle with 37-41 spindles and split 34 bones. New front crossmember. Vega cross steer. Has a 283 with a 5 speed. It’s an awesome little car to drive. Rear wheels are 16x6 with 7.50x16 tires and fronts are 15x5 with 145R15 tires.

 

Enjoyed the day with the family.

 

I drove the 40 pickup over to the Marina and watched the firework over the lake.

 

John, where did you park? I never saw your truck we were in the Deuce sedan with the rest of the got rods & customs. HRP

 

wife took new ride to the show.

 

Danny, I was parked where the owners of the boats park their cars, I had been invited out on a friend's houseboat for a cookout and take in the fireworks from the top of the houseboat, sorry I missed you guys.

 

Drove my 52 GMC (avatar) in local parade this morning. My church had a few vehicles in the parade and was a big event helper, in addition to the vehicles in the parade. Forgot to take pictures.

The car reminds me of Bob McCoys flamed 40 sedan.

 

A bit late, but the Haifley Bros. put on the annual Rattlers CC 4th of July party, which used to be done at Franks shop before he retired and then the Haifley's kept it going. It's a neat group of people from the local Hot Rod community that come together, which was sorely missed last year due to the Covid lockdowns.

 

Where does this take place? HRP

 

Downtown in Phoenix, Az.
Here is their site, they are responsible for the fab, build and paint on my Model A in my avatar.
