Austin Healey Hot Rod Console

Tim Matthews has been collecting pieces for this hot rod for a long time. Here's the amazing story in his own words...

When it comes to a traditional style build on an early hot rod it just has to be rolling on a solid front axle of some sort. In this buyer's guide we take you through I-beam and round tube solid axles, spindle choices, radius rod needs, and more.

That flathead engine pictured on our street rod catalog cover is just one little piece of a pretty mean little Model T hot rod. Check it out.

From the Model A coupe body to the dropped axle and chrome OEM wheels. This car project is a basic, but cool traditional hot rod. Comparable to the American Graffiti coupe. Read more on how to start planning your hot rod car build.

This or that: stripped down for speed or low and slow in a slick custom?

Learn how to lower a hot rod by modifying the axles and some history behind early hop ups. This project features a Ford axle with wishbones for a Model A.
