This Custom Built Street Modified Coupe Is Different, Flathead Powered, And Awesome

Guys who build hot rods that emulate race cars on the street are pretty awesome. Why? Mainly because there is always some form of trade-off that needs to be made to get the car to be “legal” and it is in the way that those tradeoffs are handled that determines the cool factor of the car itself. The machine is titled as a 1935 Ford “street modified” and if that is what it says on the paperwork, we’re going with it. The engine is a flathead V8 with the typical hop up parts you would expect. The chassis is all custom, the interior seats one (likely in minimal comfort) but with the side pipes we’re guessing that is sounds like a real bad ass.

The grill shell and the headlights aren’t our favorites but when you stare at them and consider what the options are there aren’t too many ways to go, right? The square lights don’t have a lot of “flow” with the nice round tubing at the front of the chassis but the round lights wouldn’t look all that great either. The best thing about the square lights is that they largely blend in and you have to really go looking for them.

The coil overs, big meats on the corners, and flyweight nature of this car must really make it fun to drive. The street modified must really handle and that is in its current state. The addition of RideTech parts, some better tires, and an overall tweak may result in something that could bring humiliation to the autocross scene in your local area!

Hey, if you want something that no one else will have at the cruise night, score this thing and drive the wheels off of it.

    That sure provides the opportunity to make the morning 16 miles to work a wake-up experience to look forward to. Brilliant

    This looks like an early British stock car. This is what we called modifieds and they were mostly flathead powered. If I drove this to work I’d be fired as I just wouldn’t want to stop driving…

    I have wanted to do something like raise for awhile. I just never have money. My version would be slightly different with a mid to late 30’s body, wide 5 wheels, and room for 2 inside.
