The frame is built from 2×6″ and 2×4″ steel box-tube and 1 ¾” round tubing.
The dropped Henry Ford front axle is suspended by quarter elliptical leaf springs hidden in the frame rails. The rear suspension is an adjustable four-ink with Art Morrison coilover shocks and a Panhard bar.
The engine, transmission, and rear-end came from donor cars:
The engine is a crate motor with desirable upgrades including an Edelbrock aluminum high rise intake manifold, aluminum water pump, Holley carburetor, MSD ignition, and more.
The body has been painted with a Ford metallic blue and sealed with a flat clear coat, giving a unique satin finish. With the 18” and 20” tall tires, the Ford Racing 4.56 rear-end gearing coupled with the T56 6-speed transmission makes for great stoplight-to-stoplight and highway cruising.
