Did this on sunday. The Ford is now finished (for now, the bodyshop kept suggesting superchargers ) so we took it for a spin and to get some pics.





Digi dash:


It has P/S and Leccy windows (from a Grand Cherokee) and a heater for the front window, thats it for 'mod cons'










Dart 408ci Alu block, just under 7 litres
Eagle crank
Keith Black pistons + rods
Edelbrock heads
Demon carb
MSD Ignition
Straight through SS exhaust
Ford C6 gearbox + Locker diff.
Roughly 480bhp

Its taken years to get this far, its been driveable at each stage and with every 'upgrade' the replaced parts were sold for a good price. I can't remember what it cost to Import but it came from Texas. Its a 1953.
It has no floor in the rear bed, just a chequerplate cover. When thats removed you can see the axle and shocks etc.
It'll never be 'run in' and it'll never be painted, just left in primer

Vids too:
Starting it up....
A look around.
Driving through Dunstable (turn the sound up)
