Body:
This build started with a Henry ford Cab and doors. from there it was placed on a custom roadster shop chassis and modified to no end. The cab was chopped when purchased around 3". The chop was repaired correctly and then the rear window was opened 1" taller and 7.5" wider. The lower door skins were replaced with Walden formed skins and metal finished. the fire wall was made from scratch, extended 1" and tilted 3 degrees to match the engine angle. a 32 Car grille was used and a one off aluminum hood was fabricated. The hood has custom quick release fasteners. The cab was then channeled 4" over the frame where the lower rear cab wall was replaced and had the embossing curved to match the body profile. The lower cowl panels were removed and custom made to roll back up to the frame to remove the traditional channeled look. Cowl vent was removed as well as the passenger lock hole. The bed was custom made by brookville and has had the ends capped along with a custom roll pan that doubles as a trunk and has diffuser styling and 50 Pontiac LED tail lights. The bed wood was cut and modified to flip up, exposing storage and the full size optima battery. the bed was left at factory height making the bodyline of the bed flow through the whole truck.
Chassis And Drivetrain:
The chassis was built by the Roadstershop and features Kugel Komponents Front and rear independent suspension with the rear being a winters quick change. The front rails were pinched and the ride height set up low but still drivable with plenty of adjustment up or down. Custom front and rear sway bars were added. the front brakes had custom backing plates with scoops to clean up the setup. Wheels are a custom setup from Schott wheels. 18x10 and 17x8. Engine is a new Chevrolet Performance, LSX454 and 4L80E trans with controller. The engine was customized with Finned valve covers, matching one off valley tray, one off manifolds to fit LS7 heads and Inglese EFI 8 stack injection.

Paint and details:

No detail was left unturned while still considering the owner wanted to drive the vehicle.
