John tells us about his '33 Ford Roadster. Check out the fuel delivery system. Very unique:

"The body is a Deuce Customs Fiberglass body, modified subtly like the fire wall has been change a fair bit as well as things like the back bottom edge of the doors have been radiused and there are other small modifications. The fold-down roof bows are stainless steel with a mahogany header board that will be covered in what ever the trimmer tells me is the best material to use at the time. When I asked him about the B.M.W material, he said there is better stuff to use so we will wait and see what eventuates there.

The engine is 402 B.B. Chev and a powerglide transmission which has been modified to a manual valve body and set up to suit the odd bit of drag racing when it may be required, to be used at the strip for the once a year street meet that we go to. The diff is a 2.75 9" disc brake set up ( I will have to change the ratios now that I am living in town and won't have so far to travel to runs) on triangulated stainless steel 4-bars with Aldan coil overs which are also used on the front as well, which is also a S/S independent set up.

The fuel setup (propane) has not been proven yet but it should work!! Let's wait and see about that but, according to the experts who have set it up on a computer, every cylinder will get an equal amount of fuel and the 2 carbies are set up so that 1 comes on first and then the other comes in slowly.

The rear wheels as you can see are 10" American Racing and the front are 6". The seat is a bit of a disappointment being a Glide engineering seat, yes I expected a bit better product because some of the set up was completely wrong. You get the feeling sometimes with stuff that comes out of the U.S. that it is coming to Australia on the other side of the world, so the quality seems to drop off. The bonnet (hood) will have a top only - no side curtains because big blocks generate a lot of heat and out here in Oz you want to get the heat out from under the hood. The hood is also from the U.S and a neat product from Rootleib.

The whole exhaust system is polished Stainless Steel and fits up over the Diff. The floor in the boot (trunk) has been cut out to suit the clearance problem there. The steering rack is a new item shortened out of a Holden Commodore.

Lionell Williams, a fellow rodder, has done the neaten-up to the body and has done a really top job as well. If it was steel, I would have done it myself but he is a very good tradesman so when you want the best you try and get the best to work on it. After all, you wouldn't get a blacksmith to paint your car now would you (well not under normal circumstances anyway).

Everything from the new chassis to the body has been all engineered, approved and certified to date. This is because I am not a member of the A.S.R.F. and am quite happy doing my own thing (editor's note: sound familiar?). Lone wolf but friends with the ones I want to be."
