32 Ford "tweaks" and a few mods

[HWY Nova]

So, Greg........ Now that this project is virtually done (by painting the heads that should have been painted the first time around! [K.D.]), what is your "next" project?

I have a '37 Ford - Minotti body 3 window coupe - and I already had the chassis custom built (a year or more ago) - LS6 (probably won't use it but buy a new LS3 or ? - will get 8 stack or blower... was going to be an automatic for cruising - has a Ford 9" on inboard mounted leaf springs and the chassis was C notched for low ride... It's going to be PPG Barcelona Blue (have posted a '32 that is the correct color)... and Recovery room interior...


Here's the butt ugly hump as it is - the way I bought it for a complete do over project. Some pretty ugly stuff comes out of BAKERSFIELD I can tell ya!







Here's the color it will be painted.









And here's an interior idea I've been slobbering over for a couple years.....








And here's the chassis I had built for it.....









And if you look closely - you can see the chassis as it is now....

Uh, Greg....I think you just hijacked your own thread! Oh, and thanks BTW. That car in that color's gonna be great, seriously!

I think you're gonna need a bigger garage tho...

Are you allowed to jack your own thread? I don't know... doesn't sound right though does it?!


Same thing Charley told me.... about the garage space.

I think it's rule book approved if your name's Greg or Charlie...

The floor space is fine, he just needs taller walls.......

Greg, you told me once but I don't remember who built that chassis?

From there website Greg,

Rattler® are steel rollers that fit loosely into a specific number of holes. By using an exact mathematical relationship, the rollers will roll forward during compression strokes and roll backward during the power stroke to keep the engine speed variations and vibration, to a minimum.

The only time you may hear the Rattler® is when starting and stopping the engine. When you hear the slight "click" you know the Rattler® is ready to work. The slight noise could have been eliminated but TCI® decided to keep it as a distinguishing trademark.


I had one on my old 383 in the El Camino, I did notice that the engine ran smoother and had less vibration,there pricey but do what there supposed to I guess.

Love the new updates Greg, any other new goodies coming or changing?
