Seller's comments about 1930' Ford Model A

Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is pleased to offer this Custom One Off 1930 Ford. Nicknamed Alumi-Rod this stunning all-aluminum roadster is a high-performance modern-day hot rod work of art. Beginning with a 1930 Ford Model A pickup it was handcrafted from 4x8 sheets of aluminum. The body shell cowl firewall box and box cover are all hand-formed and designed. The interior is a hand-built work of art. A special die was made to stamp a stitching pattern into the metal. There are several hundred neatly placed aluminum rivet-style carriage bolts throughout the car. The doors are suicide design with bear-claw latches. Seats are custom-made and are very comfortable in design. The dash is also hand-formed with a center-mounted gauge set. The shifter is machined from aluminum along with the steering wheel. The windshield frame is a one-off custom by the builder while the well-engineered and structurally sound chassis is made from 1.25-inch wall-registered tubing and TIG-welded. The roadster has a powder-coated frame with a 10-bolt Chevrolet rear end with positraction and 4.56 gears as well as quarter-inch elliptical rear springs with custom ride-height adjustment. Also features a 1940 Ford front axle with cross springs and shocks Wilwood front disc brakes stabilizer shock dampener assisted steering with Vega steering box and handcrafted aluminum radiator and hoses. It is powered by an LT1 V8 engine converted to carburetion with a GN aftermarket intake and MSD curve distributor electric system backed by a TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission. The wheels are one-off American Racing from their custom wheel department while the fuel system is a Speedway tank with a Carter electric fuel pump.
