Body -- The Model A Tudor body is chopped 4" and channeled 3" over a custom built 2"x 3" steel tube frame. All exposed frame welds are ground smooth. The frame is painted gloss black. A custom fuel tank is mounted in the rear with a "Hagan" flush mounted filler access door behind right rear quarter window. "Dynamat" style interior noise damping material is used on the floor, inside the doors, cowl, and rear quarters. Orange traditional pin stripping is along the beltline, radiator shell and headlights.

A "Grant Classic" hardwood steering wheel is mounted on a Cadillac tilt steering column. "VDO" and "Stewart Warner" gauges are mounted in the original dash and instrument panel. A "VDO" tachometer is mounted on the steering column. A "Speedway Motors" 12 circuit hotrod wiring harness and fuse panel is installed under the dash. A button on the dash provides power to the car horns.

The pistons are "TRW" domed forged pistons with a rated compression ratio of 11:1.
