This beautiful ride started out as a
Wild
Rod Factory fiberglass '37 Ford sedan delivery body. But from there,
the modifications are plentiful. The
chassis features all the right stuff, including a Mustang II IFS, a
Currie 9-inch Ford rear-end with four-link, Wilwood big brakes, and Air Ride Technologies ShockWaves at each corner for that
slammed-down look we all love so much. A Ford SVO master cylinder
sends pressure to the Wilwood brakes, and a Maval Manufacturing rack
and pinion keeps it all rolling in the right direction. The chassis
has been smoothed and painted. The car rides on a one-off set of Bon Speed
Wild Thang 18- and 20-inch billets wheels. These finely carved
billet wheels were made especially for this car by Bonspeed of Mesa,
AZ. The engine is a finely tuned GM 350V8 with a Edlebrock
dual 4 barrel carburetion system, World Products iron heads,
custom painted valve covers, plenty of billet and Vintage Air's
Front-Runner bracket and pulley system.
The interior of this '37 is as stunning as the outside for sure.
It was crafted by J.C. Auto Trim of Irwin, Pennsylvania. Done in a combination of Allante and ostrich materials in white and orange that stretches
throughout the headliner, over the Fiero bucket seats, and even
across the floor. A Custom Autosound Secret Audio sound system
will keep you entertained. And everything is kept operating as it
should through a Painless wiring kit. Finishing out the interior is a beautifully
painted dash with a set of sunken white-faced gauges from Auto Meter
Products, a Billet Specialties steering wheel, a Billet Specialities
tilt column and a B&M Street Bandit
shifter.
The body was carefully worked over by Elstner's Rod & Custom out of West Elizabeth,
Pennsylvania. They added a set of Vintique headlights and a
pair of LED taillights from a Yamaha motorcycle before applying the stunning PPG Concept Orange
paint. Gary Constable of Mutant Art in Louisville applied the graphics to the valve covers, dashboard, and faux body trim
with a V-8 insignia on the rear of the body. All the bright work on
the car was masterfully plated and polished at Bill's Chrome of
Jeanette, Pennsylvania.
This custom built Street Rod was debuted at SEMA and has won
every major show it has entered. It was also a
centerfold for Summit Racing Products catalogue. Plus is was
featured in Street Rodder Magazine.
