Just so you
don't think we favor only mid-fifties wagons
here's some scoop on
a '59 that's prowling the streets and highways of Arizona.
Tom
Hull is creating a mega beast. Sheer terror with 4 doors.
Tom is piecing together a project that was started some time ago by his
father. |
| Why the project
was never completed is a bit unclear, but Tom has taken on the job
wholeheartedly. After pulling the beast home, Tom went to work immediately
stripping the chrome and getting it ready for a complete exterior resto. |
 |
 |
While the bodywork was
in progress Tom also decided to install Ford's big gun, a 460 big
block. And not just any mild-mannered 460 but one with, get this... 2, count them 2, Garrett T-4 turbos!
Nitrous is also in the planning stage. |

Other cool
stuff already on this 1959 rolling stock are C-6 transmission, 9"
Disk brake rear end (narrowed Ford 9"), air bag suspension front and
rear, 33 x 19.50 Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pros (all inside the fender
wells !) 4 wheel Hydroboost disk brakes. |

Tom decided
to shoot the beast Ford Probe yellow. After all, a mega beast deserves a
mega color. This car is coming along nicely and Tom promises to update
when new "things" are done to the car. We can't wait. Some
day, if you're in AZ, you might be sitting at a light and wonder
"What's that vibration?" Don't panic, just lock the doors
and hide the children. |
