    The engine is a `38 Ford V8 60, Bored .030, Isky Cam, I don`t have the specs. in front of me, topped with 2 81 Carburetors and Mallory Electronic Ignition. The water pump is driven off of the crankshaft. The headers were made in our shop.

    You really need to see this build in person to appreciate Jeff's attention to detail and craftsmanship. Come to Heavy Rebel and see it in person.

    DSC03160 - Copy.jpg 102812093116.jpg Driving at Goodguys.jpg Well, I finally got the tires dirty. I took the car to Goodguys at Charlotte last weekend and was lucky enough to get a Builders Choice award. The response to the car was made all the work worth it. Thanks to all of you who took the time to talk with me. I really enjoyed meeting so many nice people at the show.

    Congratualtions again, Jeff!

    For those of you who have not see this car, pictures do not do it justice. The attention to detail Jeff put into it is amazing.
