Vintage Beer keg for gas tank, seat belts installed. It's a blast to drive and gets all the attention everywhere I take it, real head turner!
Most everything is new, rebuilt, true vintage. The patina is awesome and it's coated in low gloss Danish oil for protection. Pics and words don't do this rat justice.
This was finished last march and has less than 3000 miles on the whole build. The motor was installed in late June to replace the mockup motor so maybe 1000 miles on it…Stainless headers. I have driven it 50 miles one way and maybe 150 miles in a day between shows and cruises.It does have heat and defrost installed for chilly mornings, also a manual choke in dash. 6'1 max maybe for driver. I have a friend who is 6'4 and he was very comfortable in the passenger seat. The air bags work off a simple lever on the console, the compressor is a viair mounted behind the drivers seat. Hard to let this one go! True rat rod lovers will love this car!
