Built by Matt Whitlock of Wrecked Metals Rod Shop. (See the car on his website- Wreckedmetals.net) 2-year build job. All welding by Master welder. 


Traditional hot rod drivetrain built to enjoy.
. Straightforward small block Chevrolet engine, 3-speed manual transmission, Smooth clutch. 8" Ford rearend. Nothing radical, but no slouch. It goes! Always starts quickly. Broad torque curve (It pulls from low rpm). Runs cool. Large gas tank. Never fussy. Good brakes. That combined with a carefully planned driving position makes for a car you love to spend time in. 
. Crisp handling provides high ‘fun’ factor. Driving the car aggressively is a pleasure. It corners absolutely flat. No body lean. Low center of gravity. Brakes are plenty adequate. I think it will perform well in autocross. 

Chassis & Body.
. Chassis: Fabricated, boxed and supported. A very stiff chassis. No twisting under stress. Rails narrow toward the front. Triangle brace plates inside & outside at all key weld points. Tube braces at rear. This chassis will support aggressive driving and manage the most powerful drive train. Eastwood metal coatings used throughout the car. 
Car is low but practical. Nothing hangs below frame. Chassis clears speed bumps. Removable trailer hitch (to pull my old ski boat). 
. Strong, one-piece, lift-off steel body, floor and firewall (welded as a unit).  One robust box! Channeled over chassis. Top chop done with many cuts to keep all symmetry just right. Rear window large enough to be useful. Floor fabricated with 20+ steel plates, perfectly shaped. Tube bracing under the floor. Tube framework behind dash for mounting of controls. Wood roof rails and top bows replaced with tube steel rails and bows shaped to follow curve of body. Clean firewall. Smooth cowl & radiator shell. Body lifts off with eight bolts. 
. Body and all metal parts were media blasted. It is very straight, not perfect. No filler used before paint. Nothing is hidden. Floor is insulated. New hardware. New weather-stripping everywhere. 
. Paint: Body is DP 2-part epoxy primer (satin finish). Interior DP 2-part semi-gloss.  

Drivetrain & Suspension.


. Mild 283" Chevrolet engine. New 650 cfm Edlebrock carb. Petronix Distributor. Easy start & smooth runner. Headers coated. Car Chemistry tunable baffles (Aggressive exhaust note at idle and under acceleration but offends no one). Excellent oil pressure (55-65 lbs. @ running rpm.)  Runs cool between 160-190 degrees. Low oil temp. Always 14 volts. Painless wiring harness. Fabricated 14-gallon fuel tank. Aluminum radiator. 
. Early ‘70’s Saginaw 3-speed manual gearbox. Excellent condition. Hurst shifter. New hydraulic clutch. 1^st and 2^nd gears are long. Fun-to-drive factor very high!  Perfect engine sound when accelerating through the gears. 
. 8” Ford rear end. New 3.80 ring & pinion. New brakes all around. Line-Lock on front brakes. 
. Suspension provides a firm but fine ride (my wife concedes) and engineered to handle like a sports car. Dropped tube axle. Posies Super-slide quarter-elliptic front springs to get the chassis low, keep an ideal wheelbase (111” wheelbase) & keep tie rod behind the axle. (See how tie rod runs between top & bottom radius rods behind grill shell.) Front springs adjustable for ride height. Hidden hydraulic steering stabilizer. Rear coil-overs also adjustable for ride height. Chris Alston adjustable 3-point ladder bars. New radial tires. (also have whitewall Coker tires that go with the car).  

Interior.


. Very comfortable Kirkey aluminum seats with correct seat-back angle. Leather seats & transmission tunnel. Padded lumbar and thigh support. Passenger seat tilts forward for rear access. Both seats adjust forward/back 6 inches on rails. (I sit very comfortably. I’m 6’1” with long legs.) Burlap door and side panels. 5-point seat harnesses. 
. Stewart Warner traditional-style gauges (4) in narrowed Chrysler engine-turned dash. (Oil pressure, Water temp, Oil temp, Volts.) Sun Super tach. Plug under dash for phone charger. Illuminated ‘Sight’ fuel gauge on driver’s side of tank. Dome light. Large glovebox. 
. Switch box on transmission tunnel for: Key. Push button ignition & ignition-on light. Head lights & parking lights (‘34 Ford cowl lights).Quick-release steering hub. (A cheap theft deterrent. I take the steering wheel into the hotel room).
