Stopped by to help my best pal Cuzzin Deke set the body on his rolling chassis today. It's coming along nicely. He's hoping to bring it to the Hamb drags in August. Yes it has some street rodder components on it but most of them will be hidden from view. Original Henry Ford steel body with 3.5 inch chop and hidden door hinges. Small block Chevy engine with automatic tranny. This will be a highboy with no fenders or running boards and will have a 4 piece hood covering all the chrome bling. Drop axle in front and nine inch Ford rear. He will paint the body yellow later. He will do his own interior work which will be charcoal gray. Grille shell is 32 Ford. New Gennie wheels from Coker. Here are the photos.
Roof insert by Howell's Sheet metal in Texas. Many other parts were purchased from Speedway Motors. He is running a mono spring up front.
