1940's hot rod

1940 Dodge Street Rod

Finished in matt black this 1940 hot rod started out as a 4 door sedan that has been converted to this awesome rod you see here. The car was built on an older Dodge stock car chassis retaining some of its original parts including the dash, steering wheel and front nose with headlights. Power comes from a 1949 Cadillac 472 cu/in V8 that pushes over 400+HP, the engine is matted to a turbo 400 automatic transmission with a heavy duty mopar 8 3/4 rear with 3:50 gears. 4 wheel disc brakes with wildwood master cylinders help to stop this unique rod on a dime. Gangster wire wheels with firestone white side wall tires make this rod look awesome!

1940 Ford Deluxe 2 door sedan that has had a professional chop top done on it. It is one of the best chops I have seen in a while. The guy even did all of the interior window garnish moldings. Looks factory. The paint is hot rod black, not just black primer. The body is very solid but not smooth enough for a glossy paint job. Would not take much to get it there though. There is a small dent in the lower right rear fender by where the running board attaches. ( see pics ) Doors have manual openers custom built low into the doors. They work great and don't stand out. The windows are all glass and in good shape. Power door windows work great. Doors close good. No rattles to speak of when driving. The rear bumper / exhaust ports are from an early 50's Oldsmobile front grille. Looks very cool and works great. It has a non-power Fatmans mustang II front end with disc brakes. Steers and stops fine but the right front tire rubs a little in a tight right turn. Rear is a 4 link coil over set-up with a Ford 8" rear. Don't know what gears they are, but it runs fine down the highway at a normal RPM. Car rides very well. The engine is a cool running 350 Chevy, ( basically runs like a stock 350 engine, maybe 300 + HP with dress up parts ) and a 350 Turbo. Shifts fine. Engine was rebuilt but it does puff a little smoke when first started up. Runs out fine with no lifter noise or other weird noises. No leaks to speak of. Block hugger headers and full length dual exhaust. Tires are radials with about 65% tread left. The interior is pretty basic. Nice seats from a Chevy Cavalier.
