I am dedicating this page to the two Street Rods because the Chevy isn't listed in CarDomain.
This is the pride and joy of the family. It's a 1923 Ford Bucket-T Street Rod.

Right now it has a Chevy 305 in it. It runs at about 325 horsepower. My Father built it from the ground up and had it all chromed. I'm unsure of the engine components used, but more details will be founds later. It's a pretty lethal combination with the strong small block, the weight and distribution, and the fat tires in the back.
It definitely makes some noise going down the road, even when you're cruising. I love all the looks and nice gestures I get when driving this thing anywhere. I love the color scheme as well. The blue top, a white base and chrome everything else really gives it class and style.

It has some real fat rear tires along with good sized fronts. I also really like the wide fenders to compliment it's look. In my opinion, it makes the car look beefy. I've seen many other Street Rods like ours only without the fenders, and to me they look more like those old indy cars instead of Cruiser Cars.
Before it had the 305, there used to be a 350 in it's place, but with twice the horsepower. It's a badass block. My Father used to race and put all his old high performance parts into this block. It runs on methanol and is naturally aspirated, pushing an estimated 550-600 HP. He often jokes about the old block and claims the reason he took it out was because he was getting tired of pulling wheelies at every intersection lol. It's quite an impressive powerplant and I feel it should be back in. Maybe someday...
The only picture I have of the 350 at the moment is this one below. It's circled, sitting on the stand.

Sitting in the garage, away for the winter...
Here is a picture of me that someone took when I wasn't expecting it. It's a nice picture and it gives the viewer a chance to see how the driver looks while sitting in it. There isn't much room in there...

Here is a cockpit view of it. It get very windy during travels with the windhield being perfectly perpendicular to the ground and no side windows. However, it's a very smooth ride and the seats are very comfortable. Having the motor in plain view is strange at first, but seeing it twist with acceleration takes your breath away.

Just another dashboard view with a look at the Tach and Wheel...
This is another picture of the side, looking at the chrome. The long-tube headers with sidepipe combination really does this car justice and gives it a sweet look. I've burnt myself a few times, stepping out of the car...

Here is the Bucket-T and the 1941 Chevy Special Delux Coupe (strutting their stuff you might say...). My dog Sadie is between them as well. I love this picture because it has the three baddest dogs of the family all together. We often joke around by asking, "Who is the meanest & fastest beast of the three?"
This is the other Street Rod we own. It's a 1941 Chevrolet Special Delux Coupe. The engine is modified, the exhaust is a glasspack system, it has a new high performance automatic transmission, and there were green flames added. It still has the original Cregar wheels and interior to still give it the true classic look.
It's quite a big car, and you wouldn't think it was all that fast weighing in at nearly two tons, but the motor packs a punch with an estimated 350 HP. It's a Chevy 350 cid with some work done to it, if you couldn't tell. Again, I'm unsure of the components used, but I'll try and find out shortly.
The exhaust has dual chrome tips which is really sweet-looking. This is probably the loudest car of the bunch with the glasspacks. It really has that TRUE classic sound.
You gotta love these sky shots! From up here you can definitely tell the car is beefy.
Here is just a different angle of the Coupe next to the T. They make quite a pair...

This is the cockpit view from the Coupe. On the inside, everything is all original with the benchseat and everything, which is really very comfortable. You wouldn't expect an old 1941 benchseat to be all that great, but it really is.
