billybobtrucking Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 My other car IS a Hot-rod , a 1929 Ford Model A with (keeping it sort of similar ) a 350 ci (5.7 litre)Chevy and 2 speed Powerglide box .A lot of fun even though i only get 17mpg i have driven all over in this and love it Also have a smaller pickup bed (that pic is in France on the way to a show) and painted steels so can change the look as the mood takes me . 1 Quote

billybobtrucking Posted April 8, 2013 Author Posted April 8, 2013 Couldn't really see this in the other pics but this is the diff cover .Came as cast and polished so i painted the checks and the bloodshot eyeball then had a 10mm adaptor 'watercut' to fit it to the Volvo axle as it was made to fit a Jag axle.
