1939 Chevrolet Master Tudor Coupe 2 Dr

This car is so well crafted that you have to look at it very closely to see how it has been transformed from a big fat heavy Chevy, to a low, sleek, Weight Watcher version of its former self.  Chopped 2-1/2 inches and sectioned 4 inches, this radical Bowtie hot rod is superb in every way.  Let’s look at some of the details:

The custom paint on this Chevy is a combination of Raven Black and House of Kolors Tangelo Pearl, the colors nicely separated by airbrushed mirror chrome trim.  The car is shod with BF Goodrich radials wrapped around polished Weld Rodlite wheels with spinners.  The chassis is a tubular steel reinforced original Chevy frame with Heidt’s IFS featuring tubular A arms, rack and pinion steering and Wilwood front disk brakes.  Aft, a Strange 9” Ford differential runs 3.89:1 gears and 31 spline axles.  The rear suspension is by Competition Engineering with ladder bars.

The engine in this Chevy provides about as much horsepower as the most twisted motorhead could ever dream of.  It is a 355 CID small block topped by a Mooneyham 6-71 blower, topped by a pair of 600 cfm Holley carburetors.  The MSD ignition system is complete with a rev limiter and blower retard circuits to ensure all eight cylinders are lit at all times.  Dual electronic fuel pumps keep this hungry monster fed, and custom fabricated headers whup the exhaust gas away.  When you get the revs up, this mouse motor delivers a whopping 650 horsepower that is aptly handled by a TH400 automatic box with a 9 inch 2500 rpm stall converter.  Mushing the go pedal of this Chevy will suck all the air outta yer lungs, make your eyeballs swim around in their sockets, and turn yer belly into a quivering mass of Jello.  Despite its PO- tential, though, it is an easy car to drive on a cruise and you can bet it will pass anything but a gas station.
