BODY MEETS FRAME
Things are coming to an end on ``your`` project. If you attend the 41st Annual NSRA Street Rod Nationals Plus, August 5 – 8, 2010, this car could be yours, if you are lucky enough to hold the winning ticket.
This month we are showing how easy assembly of one of these street rods is — if you plan and pre-fit everything. But in the end, no matter if your project is a simple “driver” or a highend showcar, you can count on one thing. There will be many trips to O’ Reilly’s Auto Parts for thermostats, fan belts, miscellaneous fittings and fluids. There will also be a lot of 3M Products required; all available at O’ Reilly’s. Get to know your counterman and be sure to present him/her a bottle of their favorite beverage during the holidays. If you go to your local parts store and ask for a thermostat for a 350 Chevy and the first thing they do is start clicking away on the computer and asking what model/year car this is for be warned! If you get a blank stare when you tell them it’s for a ’32 Ford then you have the wrong counterman. Good ones can do magic!
This is a project that will celebrate the traditional ‘32 Ford roadster and include some of the latest innovations out of this Alabama shop. We invite you to watch the build at www.johnsonhotrodshop.com or in the pages of StreetScene magazine.
