Wrench Report

By Chris Esparza

RestoMods Head Mechanic. 20 year classic car mechanic & builder.

Pre-war Ford with an exotic flair. Strong 406ci small-block Chevy V8 power in a genuine Steve's Auto Restyling steel body. I really like the Kugel independent front and rear suspension on this build, those 4 corner coilovers will make you feel like you are driving a world class roadster. What I like most are the rear disc brakes on this car, the setup will fool the unassuming observer. Major style points there.

Description

This 1934 Ford roadster is a professional, high-end street rod build featuring an all-steel body, a built small-block V8 with an exotic induction setup, and a six-speed manual gearbox. Constructed using premium components throughout, the car has been driven fewer than 1,000 miles since the completion of the project. It features a fully independent, polished suspension system and numerous custom body fabrications, resulting in a show-quality finish. The vehicle is now offered out of Boston, MA with a clean Massachusetts title.

The steel body was sourced from Steve's Auto Restyling and is finished in a vibrant Toyota Solara Red paint. The front fascia is heavily customized with a hand-fabricated Dan Fink stainless steel grille insert nestled inside a Rock Valley grille shell, complemented by a custom-fit hood and matching side panels. Brightwork highlights include fully polished hardware, minimalist trim, and sleek Head Winds billet aluminum headlight housings.

The roadster stands with a dramatic, aggressive rake on a set of classic American Racing Torq Thrust wheels. The staggered rolling stock is wrapped in high-performance BFGoodrich Comp T/A ZR radial tires, sized 205/50R17 in the front and massive 295/40R20 out back to anchor the rear end.

The open cockpit features a custom leather interior executed by Carello Upholstery. Modern comfort is subtly integrated by way of heated front bucket seats wrapped in premium tan leather, which extends to the custom-sculpted door panels and lower side structures. Sound insulation material was installed beneath the high-grade carpeting to isolate the cabin from road noise.

Driver operation is handled via a polished steering wheel mounted to an aftermarket column and a floor shifter for the six-speed transmission. A custom-fabricated dash panel houses a clean array of modern Speedhut instrumentation to accurately monitor vital engine stats, while a Bluetooth-equipped audio system handles modern media connectivity without disrupting the classic look of the dashboard.

The engine bay centers on a built 406ci small-block Chevrolet V8 topped by an aggressive induction setup consisting of four genuine Jim Ingles 48 IDA Weber down-draft carburetors. The engine is dressed in high-end polished aluminum components and functions alongside a premium Walker brass radiator designed for efficient cooling. Power is transferred through a Tremec six-speed manual transmission.

The body is mounted to a high-performance Roadster Shop chassis that features premium, fully polished Kugel suspension assemblies at both ends. The front utilizes a Kugel independent setup with power rack-and-pinion steering and adjustable coilover shocks, with Wilwood disc brakes up front in polished calipers.

The rear features a sophisticated Kugel independent rear suspension (IRS) integrated around a Ford 9-inch differential housing. This system features a unique rear Willwood disc brake set up in which the rotors and polished calipers are mounted close to the differential case, rather than in the traditional location behind the wheels. Also shown is the custom exhaust that exits out of a wide and flat polished tip mounted below the differential case.
