1950 Austin Devon

[Reno]

I was happily working away on the 1/4 scale Willys when this popped up on Craigslist. Finding this site and seeing the fabulous work prompted me to build a street rod.

I settled on a 2016 3.6L V6 with the 8L45 transmission for power and then Heidt coilover Mustang 2 narrowed 5" for the front and a jaguar XKE IRS rear. These allow the track to stay close to stock with minimal fender fattening.
I boxed the frame in front and spread slightly to accept the LGX and built the rear crossmember.





Then mocked up with engine roughly positioned.



and with the body back on the frame.
