FAST & LOUD HI-BOY, CUSTOM PAINT/INTERIOR, PROBUILT 400, DUAL 4BBL, 4 DISCS, A/C

If you're going to build a hot rod, oing subtle probably isn't the first thing on your mind. With just over 3000 miles on the build, his 1934 Ford 3-window coupe is all about getting attention, ut it's also the rare rod that's got the horsepower and engineering behind it to be insanely fast and completely safe.Finished in 2009, his spectacular Ford combines a vintage hi-boy look with some modern tech to make one of the most radical yet civilized rods we've experienced. The fiberglass body was completely worked over to make it stand out and then every inch was covered in brilliant custom Tangelo Pearl paint that seems to glow like it's radioactive. Traditional-looking flames lick across the doors and towards the back of the car and everything has been shaved: door handles, inges, owl lights, verything. There might be some confusion when folks first see this one, ecause there's a '32 grille shell up front, lanked by a pair of big commercial-style headlights, ut you can't argue with the look. The chopped roof and aggressive rake make this one look fast just sitting still, nd the detailing makes it stand out once it's parked. Note the simple taillights out back, he flush-mounted rear deck, nd the beautiful panel alignment. This is a really nice rod.The interior is upscale with cinnamon leather, an accents, nd a few whimsical touches. The buckets are comfortable for long cruises and there's plenty of legroom in the sleek coupe. The purple-rimmed steering wheel has an old-school look and adds a flash of contrast that actually works rather well, nd there's a full set of Auto Meter dials arrayed across the dash. Most of the secondary controls are in an overhead console and it's all race-grade hardware, ncluding the nitrous setup that is to be used at your own risk, ecause this sucker's already bloody fast. The door panels are beautifully sculpted and accented with billet hardware. Comfort upgrades include ice cold A/C, ower windows, nd remote door openers with hidden back-ups that we'll refrain from mentioning here for obvious reasons. The trunk is neatly upholstered with matching tan carpets and that's one heck of a big, lue bottle!The engine is a 1974 vintage 400 cubic inch small block V8 that was built for combat. It's bored .060 oversize and filled with a Scat superlight forged crank, -beam rods, nd flat-top pistons, o the bottom end is plenty stout. There's a Comp Cams solid-lifter camshaft, o it definitely has that hot rod sound and there are dual Demon 4-barrel carburetors up top on a tunnel ram intake manifold. It's street friendly with a 10.83:1 compression ratio, lthough those gorgeous Sanderson headers make one heck of a spectacular soundtrack. The transmission is a reverse manual TH350 3-speed automatic with a trans brake, hich maybe you'll need if you use the 150 horsepower shot of nitrous. The front suspension is fully chromed and everything under the car was beautifully detailed to match the bodywork. There's a disc brake at all four corners and it sure looks like every component was built to be admired, ecause it's been painted or plated and shows almost zero signs of use. Out back, beefy 9-inch Ford rear end with 3.75 gears inside hangs on a custom 4-link suspension with coil-overs and the whole assembly has been reinforced for both performance and looks. Beautiful Billet Specialties wheels are fitted with a traditional-looking big-n-little tire combination, ith those rears measuring 15-inches wide!Fully documented with build receipts and maintenance records, his is a high-quality rod you can buy with confidence because the guy who built it, uilt it for himself.
