"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 adn 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 sheetmetal
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 rearend. The Chassis has to
be stout because Dennis had big plans
for under the hood whish 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. |
