Vintage Rides

Here is a look at the front brakes after i installed them. The engineer wanted big brakes so the fronts are 330mm with twin piston calipers.

Here is a little look at the Brake Master cylinder that is mounted under the floor, its a dual diaphragm booster and corvette master cylinder and all brake plumbing is stainless lines.

Just another look at the Master cylinder assembly showing the stainless lines that will eventually be polished.

I have used an Ididit Chrome steering column and here it is all mounted up to the dash. The hole in the dash will mount a Dakota Digital Dash.

Had to incorporate a pivot point in the steering shaft from the rack as the headers got in the way of a nice straight connection.

Introduction / Overview:
Decided a while ago to construct a street rod. Then decided on a 32 Ford Tudor sedan for my project. I plan to have the car finished for the Australian Street Rod Nationals in 2011 in Geelong Victoria.

Drivetrain:

Drivetrain consists mainly of tried and true parts eg: SHP Dart 400ci Chev, Blowershop 671 blower, EFI, AFR heads, SHP pistons, ARP fasteners used throughout.

Transmission will be a Turbo 400 full manual transmission and the rear end is a 9" Ford diff using a full Strange centre consisting of a Trutrac 3.55 and Aluminium case.

Reproduction Fibreglass 32 Tudor body by Deuce Customs here in Melbourne Australia. Paint colours will probably be Silver and Blue with an Orange pinstripe separating the two, the paint work wont be done till about October.

Interioir:
I have purchased a Glide split front bench and the upholsterer will make the rear seat and then cover it all in a Tan Leather.Dash consists of standard 32 dash panel with a Dakota Digital panel. A Lokar floor shifter will select the right gear and when stationary a Lokar Handbrake assembly will hold everything from moving.
