Winter 2007-2008:
I piece car and make some changes frame and body:
- Quick change rear axle with ford 9" axles
- Changed front brakes to Late 30s Lincoln
- I weld some fittings to the frame
- Make rebuilding to Muncie 20 tranny. Now a days I have changed it to Muncie 21.
- Changed intake and carbs, new driveshaft.
- Body fixed and painted same colour, but now shiny .
- Changed headlights to 904-A and taillights KD 40´s "frog eye" lights.
- New fourty wheels and bias ply firestone tires
- New Walker Radiator.
Another winter was easy and only 600-700hours working with Deuce.
After summer 2008 I changed engine to matching numbers ´64 409cid (425hp) (ripped valvecovers and cleaner).
I have made some small modifications during years, but nothing radical. Twice I have changed all tires, now a days front tires are higher. 2015 I changed Chevy BB/SB Vertex magneto to fit 409cid.
