Our local client and nationally known car guy, built this car as a tribute to the 1960's Show Rod era. The car has primarily been used only for major auto shows. It was chosen to be on display at the Gilmore Car Museum for a Hot Rod display with other known builders, such as Barris, Winfield, Mike Alexander, and Alya Brothers. These builders also signed the passenger seat of the car along with other legendary car people, such as Norm Grabowski. With our clients design, the car was built by Gas Axe Garage, a multi-award winning shop, of Wyoming, MI. The car is powered by a rebuilt Chevy 283 bored to a 292 V8 motor with a Comp Cam, two Ford 94 Carbs, and a Mallory Distributor. Transmission is a Firebird 5-Speed with an 8-ball shifter. Other upgrades include a Ford Banjo rear end, new Vega style steering box, Buick finned brakes, modified Model A frame with new suspension components. The car started off with a clean 1930 Ford Coupe body. It was chopped and channelled four inches, making the interior rather cozy. A 1951 Ford dash was chiseled to fit with 1953 Buick gauges while a one-off cast aluminum 1940 Ford-styled steering wheel sets the course. The exterior was painted Candy Gold Pearl with all graphics and pin stripping professionally hand painted. It is a one-of-a-kind build that turns heads wherever it goes. You won't find another one like it. This acclaimed Hot Rod was finished in 2011, collected many top awards, and has never been offered for sale until now.
