1938 Chevy Street Rod

This is Chuck Long's 1938 Chevy Street Rod, which George Thompson and I designed and built. It appeared on "My Classic Car" television program for a year. It was shown as a lead in shot for the program, and the hoods were shown opening and closing.

All electrically controlled apparatus was designed and built by George Thompson and me:

Hoods open and close electrically
Trunk opens and closes electrically
Doors open electrically
3 inch exhaust system on both sides open and close electrically
License plate retracts when ignition is turned off.

It has a high performance 350 Chevy engine, Plymouth front end with torsion bars, and Lincoln Versailles rear end. My wife calls it "The James Bond street rod." Posted by Picasa
