Big Block-Powered â??32 Ford Roadster Highboy

This â??32 Ford roadster is a fiberglass-bodied hot rod that is powered by a 462ci Chevrolet V8 equipped with blueprinted cylinder heads, a cross-ram intake manifold, and six Stromberg 97 carburetors. The car rides on a tubular steel chassis with a dropped front axle, Pete & Jakeâ??s radius rods, front disc brakes, and a four-link rear setup with adjustable coilovers. The cabin features diamond-plate floors and door panels as well as a Billet Specialties steering wheel, Classic Instruments gauges, and red leather bucket seats. Additional highlights of the build include a removable fiberglass hardtop, a Rootlieb steel hood, Supreme 15â? steel wheels, a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, and a limited-slip rear differential. The fiberglass body was sourced from Kaenen Composites of Melbourne, Florida, and features a cabin stretched by 4â? as well as firewall modifications to increase legroom. Finished in cream, the car rides on a Roadster Shop tubular steel frame that has been powder-coated to match. Exterior details include a custom-fabricated removable fiberglass hardtop, a Rootlieb steel hood and louvered side panels, and silver door numerals outlined in red. Supreme Wheel 15â? steel wheels are mounted with 5. 60â? Firestone whitewall tires up front and 12. 00â? Radir Dragster units out back.
