Bill Steele's 30 Model A - 'F-N-A' |
|
When one of our long time friends, Bill Steele, came to us wanting to team up and build a car he had been dreaming about building for a long time we quickly teamed up and made his dream become a reality.. Together we completed the coupe in nine short months and debuted it at Indy Goodguys to compete in the Hot Rod of The Year competition. The body features a 4" chop, a removable roof insert and cowl, a molded visor, and all handmade floors and interior panels. Billy laid down the PPG 12% gloss "Downtown Brown" paint with black gloss accents. The chassis is a Roadster Shop '32 with a Super Bell front axle, 4- bar rear suspension with Air Ride Shockwaves, Vega cross-steering, Buick brake drums, Spotlight Artillery wheels featuring custom machined caps with grooves that match the trim rings. The coupe gets its heart from a 331 Chrysler Hemi with four Strombergs on a custom intake by Josh Hart, a Joe Hunt magneto and custom headers. It's mated with a Corvette six-speed thanks to a Ram Industries Clutch and HotHeads aluminum flywheel. The rear is a 3.70-geared 9" posi. The coupe's interior is ultra slick and sports a '38 Dodge dash Classic Instruments gauges, hand made aluminum bomber seats, a custom arm rest, and a late 50s Lone Star boat steering wheel. Competition was tight but all of our hard work paid off when the coupe won Hot Rod of The Year. |
