This car was originally built by a friend of mine, and rebuilt by me with a few changes. It uses a Model A frame, pedals and grill shell. The only true Model T parts are the headlight buckets (converted to quartz). It features a moderatly built 350 Chevy (of course) Muncie M22 4-speed, 56 Chevy rear, SuperBell axle (which I drilled), '40 Ford Spindles, Radir front wheels w/custom-drilled rotors (which I did), Halibrand rear wheels w/Hoosiers, Vertex magneto, CalCustom valvecovers, scoop, etc. The front signals are '28 Hudson cowl lights. It also features a 1926 Elgin dash clock, Stewart Warner gauges (to match the clock), and machine-turned dash (me at the drill press again). My buddy built it as a "1950's" hot rod, with moon cap wheels and body (quite rough) in black primer. My primary goal was to drop some front-end weight, which meant new wheels. The new spindle-mount wheels required changing the rear wheels as well and the whole project really started to snowball... the body then had to be finished, as did the interior, lights, firewall, etc. just to have things "go" together. I also added about 1K in chrome bolts (which adds up faster than you might think). I consider it more of a late 60's hot rod now. This conversion required the help of several buddies, much sandpaper and many, many hours - and it certainly paid off. It not only drives like a true hot rod now, it looks like one! What I'm most proud of is that none of the work was sent out - everything was done in the garage and barn.. in the true spirit of hot-rodding.
