What I love about this car is the overall consistency of its look. The top, the fenders, those wicked cool wheels and tires, the exposed blown flathead -- all those things work really nicely together to make a gorgeous package. Nice job there Henry, as usual!!
Now you KNOW I have to ask -- did you scratch the connecting rods and sniff 'em?

do 15s fit over the FFR front brakes no problem? I'd love to know what size tires hes got front/rear, perfect fender fitment and hot rod stance... anybody know?

That's really cool old school looking but with a lot of technology mixed in. I particularly like the ballistic missle ignition key. Super nice!!! WEK.

First thanks, Henry, for your service to this country. My son flies for the Swampfox. Sweet look. Nice mill! Heck I used to drive a '49 Ford Flathead years ago. I also like what you have done with the interior. Do you use a hidden ausio system? Thanks.

Henry,
Great car.... I didn't see the response for the tires sizes on the blog. Any help would be appreciated.

Great reminder! This was the car that caught my attention and drove the early Hemi decision. A couple of the pictures show how tight the rims are on the standard FFR calipers. I will be exploring 15" artillery wheels soon, but can also go 17". Once I mount the fenders again I'll revisit offsets and tire choices. It may be listed in the back of the manual? I remember this one is possibly pictured for the bicycle fender section?
Great car Henry!!

I love this car. This is the car that drove our decision to order our kit last week. I have a 69 351w to install but my machinist has a Flathead he would build for me....

I built a 35 pickup (real steel original) with a dual plug (16 spark plugs) heads, ported, bored, stroked, etc., etc,. As I was building the truck an old hot rodder told me the flathead always looks great but you'll never spend so much to go so slow. Ran the flathead for 2 years then swapped it out for an old 392 hemi.
