Pharaohs Trailer Project |
Last year it was decided that the club needed a means of transporting equipment and other items to events so that Rods could be used instead of boring daily driver pickups. So, in typical Pharaohs fashion, no normal trailer would do. Mike W. stepped up to the plate and offered his 1960 Chevy as a donor and made the club an offer we could't refuse. Now, before you purists faint, the Chevy was well on it's way to being the sacrificial lamb to the rust gods, we would never have cut up a usable cruiser! This car is currently being transformed into, what I'm sure will become a local celebrity, so the Pharaohs will save a little piece of history after all. Parts not needed for the trailer build will find their way to gear heads all over the world by way of eBay, this will help finance the project. The 283 and steering wheel are already slated for a traditionally built Ford coupe. |
