"Rick Cresse and Doug Carr of
Wood' N Carr wanted to push the envelope
with this car, yet sill maintain the
character and warmth of the woody."
Dennis Said.
Wider doors and a hatchback in the
rear with a 1939 top would give the
car a quasi-chopped look, and the
rear fenders were also re-contoured
to compliment the raked rear of the
car." |

| Tri-C
Engineering handled the sheet-metal
work, including the reshaped rear
fenders and custom firewall and inner
fenders. Tri- C also boxed the frame,
built tubular X-Members, and installed
a Total Cost involved IFS and a Currie
9- inch rear-end. The Chassis has to
be stout because Dennis had big plans
for under the hood which was to hold
a 427 river-side oiler engine, one
of the finest Ford engines ever built.
Finished off by a Ferrari Red paint
and steel Wheel Vintiques wheels,
this Woodie gives little indication
to the that went into it's construction
or the power it has under the hood.
A true classic for any auto lover. |
