Silverio 1933 Ford Tudor Sedan

Status: In Progress

The build

Eric came to us with a 1933 Ford model 40 tudor that was pulled from a field. The chassis was in rough condition but the body is surprisingly good condition. The customer decided he wanted an aftermarket chassis and components to handle the 1967 396 chevy that he had from a previous project. Eric had two guidelines to work within, he wanted equipment strong enough to handle/have fun with the BBC, the second was safety/drivability as a family hot rod.
