Hello Hot Rodders
Thought I would send a few pics of my ‘50 Stude project, still in the build process.
My latest project has had many modifications applied since I acquired it in a very rough condition. The car sports a Blown 355/425 hp SBC using a 144 B&M Blower, 700 cfm Double Pumper Holley, 882 large chamber heads with 76cc intake runners, mild street cam, roller rockers, stud girdle, aluminum rad. Trans is a 700R4 with a 3000 stall. Rear-end is a shortened 8 3/4 Posi-Sure Grip Dodge with Bear Racing Axles, tri-angulated 4-link, Air Ride Technologies Ride Pro suspension with 1000 Shockwave front and 9000 Shockwave rear, Mustang II front clip, all on a newly fabricated 2x4 boxed steel frame. The roof has been chopped 3 inches, front clip tilted and will incorporate remote hydraulics, door shaved with remote door poppers/bear claw latches. Vintage Air, Ron Francis Wiring, Ididit Stainless column, leather interior from a ‘99 Infiniti, Specialty Power Windows, 18 inch American Eagle wheels, 275 40ZR 18’s on the rear and 255 40ZR 18’s on the front.
Currently working on running a pair of custom fabricated 4 inch Corvette style chrome side pipes incorporated into concave rocker panels below the doors. I hope to have the car ready for next seasons cruisin’. I wanted to wait till the car was finished before unveiling my project but thought perhaps people would be interested in seeing some of the build up.
I’ve thoroughly enjoy all the car shows and readers rides, it’s given me lots to ponder in respect to paint and such. Keep up the good work! In solidarity, Darrell Lawrence, Barss Corner, NS, Canada.
