27 T modified roadster update

Well friends, me and Cuzzin Deke got bored with our bland 6 banger hot rod and have done a few modifications. You may remember this car from my "Turd Polishing" tech thread a month ago or so. It was someone's unfinished project that we bought and brought to life and put it on the road. With the help of a Speedway Motors Offenhauser dual carb intake kit, we upgraded to 2 carbs. Then the original exhaust manifold was split and modified. The local muffler shop bent some custom pipes for the car. Deke reworked the rear suspension by re-arching the spring and added a pair of shock absorbers. We had the car professionally pinstriped by Ron Meyers from Tulsa, OK. Just need a pair of air cleaners now and we have a hot rod that goes like hell. Look for us at GoodGuys Kansas City in 2 weeks. We plan to sell the car after that show. Here are some photos.

 

BTW, the car has a 235 cubic inch Chevy and yes I know it has the "stove bolts" on top of the valve cover but no it's not a 216. And it is hooked up to a cast iron powerglide ****** that motivates this light weight car just right. Our new exhaust has a real low rumble now that we were hoping for. Thanks for looking at our jalopy!

 

****, he told me he was going to stripe a car, I didn't realize it was that car. He does great work, can't wait to have him do something on my car when it's done.

 

Good job PF!!

 

It's comming along nicely! Good work.

How much are you looking to get out of it when you do go to sell it, if you don't mind me asking?

 

I like it, nice work!

 

Thanks! I appreciate that. Been driving it all day. Getting thumbs up from all the Harley bikers and waves from everyone else. Not a bad way to spend my Sunday.

 

Lookin good. Would love to see it.

Audio or video to go with images, please. Schweet ride!!

 

I have a feeling I'll be borrowing some ideas from your little bucket

 

Wanna race?

 

See it? Hell, you can drive it!!! Anytime.

 

Yes, I do as a matter of fact. Meet me at the Kansas Speedway at the GoodGuys Show and we will put them on the track.
