THE BUILD

The Armacost's finished a 34 Woody that is a Hercules body on a Pete & Jakes frame. The motor is a stroked 350 with roller cam & roller rockers, '64 Fuelie ported and polished double hump heads, Vertex mag, and Rochester tri-power setup w/ a 700R4 tranny. TCI front end, parallel leaf springs in rear with a modified Ford 9".

1922 &1923 are the closest to the real color of the car and the trailer. Neither is quite finished but we are coming close. For creature comfort the woody has a folding rear seat, two AC units, 10 disc CD changer, iPod adapter, Sony remote (marine type) to control everything and tons of other goodies.

Like our '32 Cabriolet it is subtle and one has to look at everything to realize what has been done. For example, we figured out how to have power windows rather than the mickey mouse Hercules set up. The rear spare carrier is totally home built and swings down out of the way and also is the access to the gas filler. The dash is a modified '38 Ford and the window crank now operates the cowl vent, another custom item for the Hercules body. The seats are covered in leather and the door panels and other accents are a combination of the leather and wicker.

The trailer is complete except for the rear latching and striping. Running boards will be covered and the interior is covered in black felt material and has interior lighting.

Having wire wheels that match the car is just one of the little extras that take the trailer to the next level.
