ford f-1 454 big block v8 heidts suspension tubular a arms restomod

Time for something powerful, custom, and absolutely cool. This 1948 Ford F-1 restomod is customized over every inch. So check out the custom exterior, slick roadster interior, upgraded suspension, and fuel-injected big block power that all come together on this very memorable machine. The first thing you notice about this one is the style. It's a Ford F-1 pickup, but the front end is a '48 Ford car. It makes for one of the most striking first impressions... wherever you take this custom build. It's a fiberglass setup, so it was built with tight tolerances and was made to be sleek from day one. And because the '48 Ford convertible makes for some of the best-looking custom roadsters out there, it instantly gives this custom build superior status. This has great custom details, like the street-ready stance, clean chrome-free sides, and pinstriping on the tailgate. But also don't forget to check out the classic details. Ford example, the fenders of Ford's cars and trucks both had a rounded look with a dignified crease â€" so the style of the front and rear really do belong together! And while there's real wood in the steel truck bed, the only hauling you'll likely be doing is hauling home trophies. The tan removable top and provisions for power windows give this the ability to be buttoned up to the world. But really, this is meant to be a cool open roadster. That's why the interior is so nicely finished and ready to show off. The bench has custom contouring for comfort and the cloth finish is great for hopping in on sunny days. It has a nice stitching that coordinates with the custom door panels. The dash is color-matched to the exterior, and it cleanly has nice features installed like the air ride controls and the AM/FM/CD stereo. The cool wood and chrome banjo-style steering wheel is mounted on a tilt column, and it gives you a clear view to the full Classic Instruments bright readout package. Under the hood might just be the best upgraded of them all. The 454 cubic-inch big block looks clean and mean with the smooth inner walls funneling all your attention to the matte black pieces, including the valve covers w/callouts etched into them. More than just a big displacement, this V8 has the added performance and dependability of an adjustable Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection. Plus, there's an MSD ignition, upgraded pulleys, and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan to support this big block upgrade. As you look at the undercarriage photos, you'll sport more big investments in the right components. It includes the Heidts front end, tubular arms on the four-link rear, full air ride suspension, and rack & pinion steering. Plus, with the four-wheel disc brakes and four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive, this is an awesome build that's easy to show off near or far. Lightweight, powerful, and a true head-turner... you know exactly why you want this Ford. So don't miss out, call today!
