Carl Jones purchased his ’37 Ford as a project to be completed when he retired. Carl wanted a car that was, in his words, unique, timeless, and classic and with the quality of build that he envisioned. He did have some experience when he restored his ’60 Corvette. He found a suitable project car in Liberty Lake Washington and towed it home. Carl recycled the original drivetrain and chassis and replaced it with a Total Cost Involved frame in his home shop. He added a Mustang II independent front suspension with 2-inch dropped spindles and 11-inch smooth bore calipers rack-and-pinion steering. The rear suspension consists of a four-link suspension with Ridetech coilover shocks and 12-inch smooth big-bore calipers. Carl installed a Saginaw TC power steering box topped by an ididit steering column and cut-down ’40 Ford steering wheel. Moving toward the aft, he used a four-link suspension on a Ford 9-inch rearend with a limited-slip 3.70 ratio and 31-spline axles. A cast-iron GM 350ci block with aluminum performance heads and high-lift cam is the go power. It is topped with an Edelbrock 600-cfm four-barrel carburetor. It is dressed in a March serpentine pulley system that drives the polished alternator, power steering, air conditioning, and fan. Sanderson headers with stainless steel exhaust and Hooker mufflers put a lid on the sound. This package puts out about 400 hp with 450 lb-ft of torque. It’s cooled with a custom Griffin Radiator. The transmission is a GM 700-R4, which gives off-the-line go and fewer stops at the petrol station. Speaking of which, a larger 16-gallon fuel tank was fitted and, along with the transmission, makes this old Ford a “reacher.” Add the 17- and 18-inch Schott Venom wheels and Michelin tires and you’re ready to roll.
