The chassis and running gear continue with pure engineering quality, a custom boxed frame appears like 32' Ford rails and is pinched to accommodate an in-line body fit.

The car is flawless in its delivery of power, ride, tractability and dependability, which is only attainable in a streetrod built by a professional. Be advised, this is a man’s car.
