Dave's '37 Ford Roadster was built from a glass body kit on a Mustang II suspension. The 305cid motor puts out 300bhp. It has a 350 trans pushing a 8.8" 3.08 rear end.
His wife Cheryl did the upholstery & 'Vette seats, & says that it handles like her Porsche. The paint is Custard, NOT white I was told.

One of the best uses I've ever seen for a Mustang II besides fill dirt...

Nice walkaround Frank!

His wife Cheryl did the upholstery & 'Vette seats, & says that it handles like her Porsche.

its beautiful
she must be great with her hands to have done that lovely upholstery
:cool:
not easy

love the shots car and colour
the off white shade of the beautiful body suits the soft top's lovely colour really well.

Nice ride, what event is that?

Still don't understand why people would spend all that time and effort on a car and then put a 305 in it. Am I missing something? I mean it looks nice, but it's gotta be one of the worst engines performance-wise to start with, especially if you're going to use a small block Chevy.

I agree, Marie!

Am I missing something?

I don't think so. maybe it's the extra money involved. Maybe it's something like this?
Post your "What were the owners thinking" images!

I totally agree. Should have LSX'd it. Granted everyone does it, they are touched by the hands of God :lol:
