Projects Raybestos Roadster #More build Pics!#

I'm looking for a Duvall style windshield and you mention Dave York. Is he the manufacturer and how do you find him? RP is bitchin just like everything Hollywood Hotrods builds.

 

Good Golly Miss Molly, what a sweet build. And as Malcolm says, cool Ford mill. Nostalgia logos are one of my fave art things and that beautiful shield is really smokin. Thanx for the pix. ~Sololobo~

 

I can promise some burnout pics & video!!!
The numbers on this thing are pretty staggering, weighs a bit over 2000lbs, the engine puts out over 400hp & similiar torque, the stock redline is 7,000 RPM! With the O.D. 5 speed and 31" tall tires, the rear end ratio will be about around 4.33, which will make for some pretty stupid hard pulling lower gears... I can't wait.

If one of you guys wins it, I apologize in advance for the bald tires and miles on the odometer!!

 

Bald Tires : Tear them up .....

Very nice work, espically with the front and rear suspension..... A little sprint car technology....<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

 

I hope that I am the lucky S.O.B.

That would be okay with me if it were broken in before I got it. I am praying to the Hot Rod gods every night I am in the garage giving my blood sacrifices

Very cool. The modern and traditional are nicely, tastefully blended.

Others have tried to this, but not as successfully (with a few notable exceptions...).

Congrats on doing it right!
