1955 Ford Thunderbird Street Rod
1955 Ford Thunderbird - Street Rod
After restoring to original
12 1955 - 1957 T-Birds,
I decided to make a hot rod T-Bird.
Having had quite a few street rods,
I knew what I wanted, so here is the story.
I started with a 1955 T-Bird from California.
Stripped the car down to nothing,
off the frame,
stripped the frame completely and
blasted everything.
Front end was completely rebuilt
using D-C Enterprises dropped spindles
and disc brakes.
Rear end is a S-10 3.73 geared unit
mounted with a TCI four link parallel unit.
We could now install the
Air Ride Technologies Suspension systems.
All new brake and fuel lines were made
and installed.
A new fuel tank was installed.
Later a custom exhaust system was designed
and installed.
Very sweet sound.
Extensive body work was done
as seen in the picture.
Color is DuPont Hot Hues - Sinful Cinnamon.
Many coats of base - clear were applied
by the best professional painter I know.
Dash pieces were sent to Dakota Digital
for their expertise in gauges and design.
Balance of dash was filled and smoothed
for a beautiful custom unit.
A custom built console housing all wiring,
a 4600 Pioneer Radio and CD,
and Vintage Air Controls for heat, air,
defrost unit.
Rockford - Fosgate speakers - 4 - were used.
Not a blaster, but a very nice sound system.
Mitsubishi bucket seats were used.

two tone - by Little Sid's Custom Upholstery.

and nothing is exposed.
There are many more items too numerous
to go into.
This car handles great and is extremely fast
and a joy to drive.

used in construction.
All work was professionally done.
