Details

This 1932 Ford custom roadster is a frame-off custom build by Creative Customs in Spartanburg, SC. Features custom suspension, Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes and staggered Billet Specialties wheels. With a new Rat's Glass custom '32 Ford body mounted to a Bobby Alloway custom frame, it is powered by a modern Chevrolet LS1 crate engine and includes a custom leather interior with new Classic Instruments gauges and a level of detail that requires multiple looks to fully comprehend. This roadster is painted with a PPG slick black base coat/clear coat paint with the traditional-style custom flames added. At the front of the car, a Dan Fink custom grille aligns between modern, tri-bar headlights. Behind the grille, a 3-piece Rootlieb metal hood flows to a classy Duvall windshield filled with smoked glass. A simple profile presents shaved doors with poppers, hidden hinges and, at the back of that profile, a power-lift decklid that rides above smoked and smoothed custom LED taillights and a drop-down plate holder. Lift this car's steel hood and you'll find a new crate GM LS1 V8 engine, utilizing aluminum construction, flat-top pistons and coil-near-plug ignition, conservatively rated at 345hp and 350 ft/lbs of torque. A Bobby Alloway chassis cradles a GM 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission that was factory-engineered to live behind the LS1. At the front of that gearbox, a chromed 4-bar suspension hangs modern Aldan coilovers between Super Bell spindles. At the back of that gearbox, another chromed 4-link suspension hangs an aluminum-cased Currie 9-inch rear end, a limited-slip differential and big 4.10 gears between fresh Pete & Jake's coilovers. Stopping power is provided by polished Wilwood calipers with four drilled and slotted rotors. This car also features high-quality detailing, with stainless-steel fluid lines, a finned transmission cooler and a polished flywheel cover. Inside this street rod you'll find a stunning leather interior installed by well-known customizer Chuck Hanna Interiors and HRI Hot Rod Interiors by Chuck. Below that seat, clean carpet anchors and color-keyed floor mats sit between a familiar Lokar shifter and precise Lokar foot pedals. In front of that seat, a body-matched dash sandwiches a tan leather instrument panel between a recessed Panasonic CD player and Classic Instruments gauges. A polished steering wheel establishes the layering theme for the door panels. Behind the passengers, the car's upholstered trunk has an Alpine amp and fuel filler below a trick billet hinge.
