FORDSVTPARTS Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hmmm, What is that thing, How many cylinders? What the heck IS that thing? I don't think it's really a Ford. What is that by the front door? WTF!! A shaft driven blower on a twin cam straight eight!! Last pic, Anyone want to guess at some of the components? I have a few minor details to finish off but my access to a decent cam is limited to borrowing one. Thanks for looking, comments are welcome.

RodneyBad Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Well the only thing I can recognize is maybe the cab of the Willy's pick up? What ever it is. It looks wicked cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick F40 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 dude, another kickin model from your creative mind! I love this thing, it's very unique. So, what would you say if someone asked what it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FORDSVTPARTS Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'd just have to say it's a Hot Rod I guess. It is a Willys pickup cab, Willys Gasser chassis Shortened rear frame dropped front suspension '29 Ford pickup bed, shortened grille shell is from the horrible Lindberg Auburn Speedster The engine started out as the Auburn flathead straight 8 but it was so ugly I couldn't use it The only parts left are the block, The middle 1/3 of the head and the oil pan that had to be cut from the one piece Auburn frame. The cam covers are fabbed from parts tree plastic, The cam drives are from an odd scale Offy sprint car as are the headers, The lower fron cover is from the M/T four engine Pontiac LSR car, parts bin blower, carbs from the '53 Vette, parts bin pulleys with fabbed bracket and the blower drive shaft is a Corvette IRS half shaft. The engine was originally meant to go into the '29 pickup but once I got going and had the idea for the blower it wouldn't fit in between the "A" rails so I broke out the part bin and went nuts. Thanks for the kind words guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
