Talk
about "Hot-Rodding Roots", this sweet 1928 Ford Model A
Stake Bed hauler was built/restored by Pete Eastwood and his good
friend Tony Piner to push their Roadster at Bonneville....
Pete Eastwood and/or P-Wood, is Legendary in the Southern
California car culture as a Traditional Hot Rod builder
and very astute chassis fabricator with roots dating back
to Blair's Speed Shop, Sprint Cars, Drag Racing, El Mirage SCTA, Bonneville and his early days working at Pete &
Jakes shop.
Hot Rods should be built to be driven...

Pete Eastwood Story<
Part of a prestigious
"Southern California Automotive Collection" for about 15
years, built/assembled about 25 years ago by Pete & Tony,
this rig has survived the test of time with only light
age, desirable patina and of course, it can be driven. The
original body is all steel and finished in a vintage tone
of VW brown complimented with black fenders/grill and hand
painted "Horsepower Farm" graphics...
The chassis is hand
built/modified in classic P-Wood style, consisting of Pete
and Jakes 4-bar front suspension, dropped front axle,
traverse mounted buggy spring, early Ford steering box
(mustang?), 4 corner "juice" drum brakes, unique heavy
duty parallel leaf spring 4-bar rear suspension, Ford rear
end housing and rolling on 16" Kelsey Hayes spoke wheels
with Firestone 750-16" bias ply tires...
Power under the hood is a
smooth running and modestly equipped 283 Chevy V8, cast
iron 4bbl intake manifold, GM Quadra-Jet carburetor,
factory style air filter assembly, GM ignition, GM 12V
conversion, custom radiator & fan shroud, Ram Horn exhaust
manifolds and custom dual exhaust system. Transferring the
power is a Turbo-Hydro 400 automatic trans and Ford 8"
rear differential...
Moving inside, you will find
the same level of very simple yet functional design and/or
period style. Old school trimmed tan/brown "Naugahyde"
upholstery, custom door/kick panels with map pockets,
factory door handles/hardware, tilt steering column, Bell
steering wheel, updated factory center cluster with
additional gauges and restored wood structure. Own a piece
