Good evening and welcome to another peek into the interesting world of Gray Smith and his builds. Tonight, we got a Deuce. I went a day without mentioning a 32, gimme a break!
This one's being done for the World's Most Beautiful Roadster Contest, which incidentally is getting a lot more attention that I would've hoped it would. With cool stuff like this getting built, and no box-stockers that I've seen yet, its shaping up to be an entertaining watch for me.
Like his Ala Kart we featured yesterday, Gray is mixnig old school with new school to great effect. This 32 is channelled, the front frame rails have been "upturned a tad" to drop it at the front and the rear suspension has been raised in the frame to help it out there too. Pretty standard hot rod stuff, right? Get it in the weeds, nice and low, classic body style, cant go wrong.
Under the (possibly non-existant) hood though, there's gonna be the standard Mustang mill that comes in the kit, but with a slight twist. This one's gonna utilise a bunch of Cosworth Indy engine components to make it stand out. Yeehaw!
Mix that in with a nice bright nail varnish paintjob (hence the out of scale bottle next to the car!) and it's gonna be a pretty fresh take on a car that has been built in 98% of the ways it's possible to do one, which is half the challenge.
More pics and info here, check it out. Tomorrow: one more from Grey!
