Default Old-school Hot Rod

Well, it's not an LS powered car, but I'm sure that you'll appreciate this cool ride if you're enthusiastic about cars even the slightest bit. It's an original '32 Ford with a '49 Olds engine and a McCulloch centrifugal supercharger dating back to 1954. It's in our shop to get some tuning work done. We're fighting every fiber in our bodies to keep from converting this little puppy to an LS powered beast. Perhaps it's best to help preserve a bit of history as this car was last modified back in 1960.

And props to 3fingas for laying down the rubber that now let's people flying up in the planes know exactly where Masport Speed Shop is.

Enjoy the pics!

That thing's sick! I didn't know centrifugal blowers existed in 1954.
