If you look at the sills in the second photo they look parralel to the floor, I think the tubs/wheel combo make the rear seem lower as you are expecting a much smaller wheel back there and to get that amount of "tuck" on a smaller wheel the car would need to be very, very low.
Trick of the mind IMHO.

i saw the car in person and assure you it is much lower in the back than the front, if you think the rake looks silly in the pics you should see it live, it looks like a '70's car in reverse

you are a VERY modest man paul for those who don't make the connection page 59 SM mag read the caption above the '37 &*#@, how much did you build?
and people are blowing wind up my arse for the little pic of my shit box

You must be the only person that took notice to the caption.


The easiest way to answer your question, the only things I didnt change or make was the grill or headlights.
It would take way too long to explain what I did do, Street Machine and possibly the other magazines may be featuring it some time in the next few months and the story and photos will hopefully cover what was involved in the cars build.

I did not do the electricals, exhaust trim or paint.
And the owner did final assembly and detailing prior to the show

Did you look at it on display down there?

why are you so Mysterious Smooth ? very cagey - letting out very little , taking in massive amounts and your hand in many jars ...

Who owns the wagon ? Ive got a feeling Slim was telling me about this one a couple of years back and possibly Sash has it ...

Nice build SC I dont know much bout fords unfortunately but the car does look sleek.

Have I missed your post on your own FB/EK, cant seem to find your holden?

Mysterious? not me.

I dont come here to tell everyone about what I do and how good or bad I am at it.
I come here because I have a thing about FB and EK's and enjoy reading about and seeing what others are doing with them.
And over the years I have owned a few, Scotty has a couple of Pix's but wont post them as he is trying to educate me on the technical side of computers and what I can do with them.

About the 37.
The owner asked me about what I would build and how, and what was possible. I designed what I thought would be something different, he trusted my judgement and let me loose.
The end result can be seen in the photo in SM
This was not a cheque book car where the owner shows up at the finish and takes it home, I have mentioned his involvement previously.

Seeing that it is not my car and there have been no magazine features on it, I am not in a position to just tell everyone about it.

After it is featured, and if it has some interest to people here I will be able to answer questions.

Back to the subject at hand..

I thought the plate was familiar on the wagon... small block and all



Guess which way I liked it better

Well? Devil rod? Tim? is that what the Green wagon started life as or did they just buy the plates???

Call me thick but " Iz gots to know??"
Scotty.

Thats how it started. It was SBC powered just all under the bonnet and about a high 11 sec car in this guise.....

WHAT....

are you serious.....

ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE PINK & WHITE FB WAGON IS THE SAME CAR AND USED TO RUN 11'S LIKE THAT.....

(my dream sleeper)
