All NEW 1934 Ford Phaeton
On Display at Sacramento Vintage
Now On Display- Assembled with All NEW Components!
The new 1934 Phaeton built for the Street Rodder
Magazine Road Tour is now on display at Sacramento
Vintage Ford.
In the May 2008 issue of Street Rodder, they introduced
the '34 phaeton from Kelvin Waddington's Australian Ute
Company (see the May '08 issue of STREET RODDER
for a full report) that they were building to drive to various
summertime events and to tag along with Jerry Dixey on
a few of the Street Rodder Magazine Road Tour legs.
Roadster Ute's bodies are exported
directly to America, distributed through several well-known American rod shops, including Sacramento
Vintage Ford. Current cost: $19,950. At the moment it is about a 90 day wait on a bare body delivery, with a $5000. deposit required.
This is a body that accepts all
stock external body components. To prove the claim,
Kelvin assembled a body with U.S. made fenders,
hood, running boards, and one of
the grilles similarly tooled in Australia.
In short, this body represents one of the milestones in
the reproduction body market. It was designed with the
intentions of the common rodder in mind, it's built
exceptionally well, as this bare-metal example
illustrates, and it's available right now at Sacramento
Vintage Ford.
The COMPLETED Road Tour Phaeton This is an ALL NEW car that was driven on the Street Rodder Magazine road tour in 2008.
The chassis is by Pete & Jakes, with a 9 inch rear end, 4-Bar front suspension, Wilwood disc brakes, Small block 350 Chevy engine, Holley 4 barrel carburetor on a Weiand aluminum intake. Transmission is a R200 4-speed Overdrive. Seats have channel upholstery but the rest of interior has not been completed. Dynamat lined sheet metal. Classic Instruments, 1940 style steering wheel, 15" bent style wire spoke wheels with 5:50 Firestone's up front and 8:20 Firestone's on the rear.
The new body is all steel and has been clear coated. The asking price for this ready to drive 1934 Phaeton is $60,000.

Making A V8 Block in 10 Minutes?
Well we 'thought' we were a bit off track in last months newsletter with this video, but it turns out it was our most popular LINK!
This is a little 10 minute clip that shows a very hi-tech piece of equipment.... taking a solid block of metal....and turning that into a V8 engine block........all in one continuous operation.
For the
hot rod builder, a working environment takes on a whole new meaning;
and here, in fascinating pictures and words, readers learn how shops
and garages inform and reflect each custom creation.
The book offers an
intimate look into the garages of legends like Pete Eastwood and shops
such as Rolling Bones; celebrated builders-for-hire like Vern Tardel,
and Cole Foster; and top-of-the-line shops such as Brizio Street Rods
and Steve Moal's operation.
The result is the next best thing to being
there-a book that vividly summons the nature of these spaces and the
cars they produce. And...it has a cool, see though, garage door cover!

Performance Mufflers
The "Flowmaster Sound" is the true tone of American muscle and
performance. Available in a wide range of domestic and import
applications for automobiles and trucks, Flowmaster mufflers produce
more power than Original Equipment (OE) and competitive aftermarket
products.
What makes Flowmaster so unique is that its performance improvement is
paired with its unique exhaust tones. The "Flowmaster Sound" is offered
in many different tones depending upon the muffler series. From the
deep, aggressive tone of the Super 44 to the quiet and subtle, but
unmistakably rich Flowmaster tone of the 70 Series, our family of
mufflers offer the right application of performance and sound you want.
