THE FRONT END IS AN "IN THE WEEDS" DROPPED TUBE AXLE WITH FORD SPINDLES THE REAR END IS A NARROWED FORD 9 INCH DETROIT LOCKER WITH A NEW 3:70 GEAR . THE REAR END HOUSING HAS BEEN BEEFED UP TO HANDLE 800 + HP THE BODY HAS VERY LITTLE RUST BUT DOES HAVE AN EXCESS OF OLD BONDO THAT WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED AND OR RE DONE. THE HOOD IS ACTUALLY A 1931 ESSEX BUT THE BODY LINES MATCH UP PERFECTLY. A 1931 ESSEX HOOD IS THE SAME AS A 1930 ESSEX HOOD EXCEPT THE LOUVERS IN THE SIDES ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT. FRONT FENDERS ARE TRUE 1930 ESSEX. ALL 4 TIRES ARE NEW THE BACK FENDERS ARE ALSO TRUE 1930 ESSEX OFF A RUMBLE SEAT COUPE.
