Hi

Built by Home Grown Hot Rods completed in 2001
Running a Chevy ZZ4 350 with an Ingelese induction system with four Italian twin choke 48 IDA Webers
Super Bell chromed I beam front axle with So Cal discs
Transmission Turbo 400
Vintage Halibrand Quick change rear axle with 9” Ford drum brakes
Vintique Steel Wheels or alternatively Eric Vaughan Real Wheels Alloys

Presently the Coupe is getting a refresh ready for Spring

Having driven many many Hot Rods since the early 70s this car is special to me in particular it drives vey sedately equally floor it the tyres light up and it flies

Many great memories not least when I bought the car more than 40 years ago

Enjoy

Thank you for looking

John

Lovely.
Built my first hot rod in 1973/4, always had a soft spot for them.
Thanks for the details.

Ah, don't do Face Book!
That is a long time ago, 1975/76 maybe 74 even.
MG A gold seal engine and box, beam front axle and Jaguar rear.
Did 23,000 miles in it with that form, golden times. :)

Made it to several magazines, lots of weekend runs, great fun.
