First Drive
After 14 months, I rollled my latest project out of the shop to see what it looked like in the sunshine. It is a BeBops body/frame combo with a 351 Windsor engine, C4 transmission and a 9 inch Ford rearend. I was trying for a newstalgia look so it has a 40 Ford steering wheel, a SoCal front end with the Buick drums covering the disc brakes, outside door handles and trunk handle. I have not started on the interior but I am thinking of white with medium blue trim. The wheel/tire combination were left over from another project but I am thinking about changing them to chrome wheels and wide whites.
I had just returned from the muffler shop when these pictures were made.
A close up of the engine with the air cleaner and hood installed.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
