Details
The body was taken off the frame and stripped. The car did not have any rust and the frame was blasted, boxed and a Mustang II front end was welded on. It’s powered by a cammed LS1 Corvette 350ci V8 engine featuring C&C ported heads, FAST 90mm intake, heavy-duty valve springs and a Billet Specialties complete billet drive system. The engine is paired with a TREMEC 5-speed manual transmission featuring a McLeod hydraulic clutch and a Ford 8.8-inch Truetrac rear end with 3.73 gears. The suspension features traction bars, tubular A-arms, adjustable shocks, Wilwood 11.76-inch front disc brakes and Ford disc rears and Flaming River power rack & pinion steering. It includes new water pump, alternator, power steering pump and Vintage Air. The rear fenders have been widened by 2 inches and look stock. The inner fenders are tubbed to the frame. The interior, doors and trunk are all Dynamat-lined. The dashboard was removed and scanned on a computer, then a custom art deco dashboard was designed and milled out of billet aluminum. This allowed for the compound curves to be captured and made for a perfect fit. Special attention to detail has the Classic Instruments gauges tilted toward the driver. All pieces were then plated in copper to make a truly one-of-a-kind dash. The Wise Guy aftermarket seats feature distressed leather and are hand-stitched, giving it more of a cowboy style. The front vent window assembly was custom-made in stainless and features 1941 Mercury power windows. A new custom top, featuring Haartz fabric, with three cast stainless-steel clampdowns and three locating pins, was installed. It also features custom running boards inspired by a 1936-37 Lincoln and LED turn indicators. This Mercury rides on 17x8” front wheels and 17x10” rear wheels with Diamondback whitewall tires.
