It looks marvelous, doesn’t it? Sitting in a restaurant a few years back, Ron Brown & Chip Foose discussing is what ended with us drooling at this jewel. Foose went o to put his magical pen to work, with an ASC steel Cabrio body, Deuce-style fenders and more in mind. The topless Speed33 ended up showing off an incredible design – hence the pictures.

Foose and his team went over the chassis, fine-tuning and what resulted is a perfect example of 21-st century automotive madness. The suspension and engine mounts have been replaced, while improvements to the rear-end, braking system, and pedal assembly have also been made.

As mentioned before, the body structure, firewall, door frames, rear quarters, and decklid were built by ASC, but the rest is all fabricated to match Ron and Foose’s vision. Speaking of which. the five-spoke alloys were designed by Foose and built specifically for this project – yes, they went for Pirelli tires.

Chrome trim pieces, hand-made Nerf bars, King Bee headlights are housed in custom-built reduced 1935 Ford-style buckets are also worth mentioning – although, everything pales in comparison to that coupe body. Speaking of which. custom painter Steve DeMan sprayed the car using BASF’S Glasurit 90 Line waterborne paint. I’m not even going to bother with the technical side; the sky’s the limit, more specifically the budget. Basically, you can do anything if you have the cash; but, to design such a vehicle takes skills and imagination – enter Chip Foose.

Chip Foose and Marcel DeLay Converted This Speed33 Cabrio Into A Hardtop Coupe

“I’d like to have a car like that.”

Ron Brown and Chip Foose were sitting in a restaurant a few years ago. They were talking about street rods, in particular Speed33s. Ron had owned one of these stylized 1933 Ford–inspired cars—a dark red fenderless version designed by Foose and built by Marcel DeLay at Marcel’s Custom Metal. Mark Trostle at American Speed Company had created the Speed33 body as a topless car—a cabriolet with the flavor of a roadster—but Ron and Foose were talking about doing something different. What if you took one of ASC’s steel cabrio bodies and converted it into a coupe? And what if you gave that coupe a pair of Deuce-style fenders? It wasn’t long before Foose had pulled out a pen and paper and was translating their words into drawn lines. One look at Foose’s sketch and Ron knew they had to take it further by translating those drawn lines into a genuine car.

Ron knew just where to find the car for this undertaking. His longtime friend Ken Yanis had been building a Speed33 until a 1956 Chevy showed up and drew his attention away from the project.

When Ron bought the car, he got a Speed33 topless body and the majority of the present chassis. The frame was built from American Stamping ’rails, pinched in the front. Kugel Komponents’ independent suspension components had been added in the front and rear, including coilovers up front and double coilovers in back. When the car got to Foose Design, Foose and his team, notably Dennis McNeil, went over the chassis, fine-tuning and making a variety of modifications, such as replacing the suspension and engine mounts, adding 3/16-inch plating with louvers, and extending the front 6 inches. Foose also modified the looks of the Kugel rearend; a custom housing for the 3.7:1 differential is flanked by inboard disc brakes. The brakes use Wilwood components and are operated by a Kugel pedal assembly and underdash master cylinder.

The five-spoke wheels are unique, designed by Foose back at that restaurant, and built by Foose Design specifically for Ron’s car. Measuring 18×9 and 16×7, they roll on 275/45R18 and 195/45R16 Pirelli radials—providing a classic big ’n’ little combination and the perfect sidewall-to-wheel ratio.

Ron told us that Foose’s initial sketch, and subsequent drawings, served as an accurate pattern for exterior modifications made to the Speed33. The body structure, firewall, doorframes, rear quarters, and decklid are just the way the body is built by ASC, but the rest is all fabricated to match Ron and Foose’s vision.

Foose has collaborated frequently with sheetmetal shapers Marcel and Luc DeLay from Marcel’s Custom Metal. Marcel worked on Ron’s Speed33 roadster and was commissioned to make some of the body mods on this car as well. The father and son team handformed the custom running boards and fenders, fabricated a brand-new hood and doors, and created a new grille shell and rear apron, all consistent with Foose’s design. Chrome trim pieces were built to accent the hood top and sides, and hand-fabbed Nerf bars were added as front and rear bumpers. Greg Cox at Artistic Silver Plating ensured that all the chrome was flawless. The side mirrors are mounted on hand-shaped stems. The King Bee headlights are housed in custom-built reduced 1935 Ford-style buckets.

The top is probably the most distinctive element of Ron’s rod, transforming the car from cabrio to coupe. The perfectly proportioned roofline is Foose’s design with Marcel and Luc’s handiwork. When the electric windows are up, the opera window–style rear glass is apparent. With all windows down the hardtop look is achieved.

Jean Brown, Ron’s wife, selected the tone of blue that extends from the grille shell, continues above the beltline, and down the decklid. The contrasting silver was Foose’s idea and a tiny bit of silver was added to the blue to wake it up a little. The colors are separated by a subtle pumpkin-colored stripe. Custom painter Steve DeMan sprayed the coupe, using BASF’S Glasurit 90 Line waterborne paint.

Ron’s roadster had been powered by a Chevy LS3 and he opted for the same engine in the coupe, providing the Street & Performance motor that now fills the engine bay. Andy Wallin at Foose Design rebuilt the engine, which is cooled by an aluminum radiator from Mattson’s Custom Radiator and a SPAL electric fan from The-Fan-Man. Foose fabricated the headers, which draw exhaust to a custom MagnaFlow exhaust system. The valve covers are another custom Foose detail. Marcel’s Custom Metal built the beautiful carbon-fiber engine cover, which started as a clay model and is finished with chrome trim details. Behind the LS3 is a floor-shifted GM 4L60E transmission.

The interior was styled simply, with a lot of work to make it look that way. The Speed33 dash houses a single gauge pod—a 1951 Ford speedometer and quad gauges (fuel, oil, temperature, battery) restyled and rebuilt by Redline Gauge Works. Vents for the Vintage Air system are mounted below. Peter Morell at Foose Design made sure everything is wired right. The 1956 Chevy two-spoke wheel was reworked and flipped when mounted on the ididit column. At 714 Motorsports in Huntington Beach, California, the high-back Glide Engineering buckets and the rest of the interior were upholstered in three tones of Katzkin leather. High-quality aircraft carpeting covers the floor.

The coupe was finished in time for the 2015 SEMA Show in Las Vegas where Glasurit gave Ron’s Speed33 a spot in their booth to show off that paint. Ron said it’s been an exciting ride watching this unique street rod evolve from a restaurant conversation into a car he can drive on the street—especially one built by Chip Foose and Marcel DeLay. Who wouldn’t like to have a car like that?

Danny and Diane Shaffer’s 1964 Fairlane

Ford Motor Company proved in the early ’60s that bigger isn’t always better. Though their full-size fleet was bigger and better than ever, typically with each new large model came complementing midsize and compacts. Ford’s very first foray into the midrange (intermediate) market debuted with the 1962 year-model Fairlane—as well as the Comet’s bigger brother, the Mercury Meteor—which was actually a downsized version of its third-generation predecessor … though only by a mere 4 inches, wheelbase-wise.

Across the board, this “new” subcategory, unlike the early Falcons and Novas, was not deprived of performance potential—the manufacturers eventually took advantage of the weight-saving advantages, such as Ford did in 1964 with the Thunderbolt, an experimental factory race car built specifically for NHRA Super Stock competition—and available (if you consider roughly 100 as “available) to the general public for just under $4,000! While the more readily available Galaxies and the like of the era were ruling NASCAR, little old ladies in Pasadena were better suited behind the wheelhouse of the compacts than young testosterone-filled men at the time, so the midsized models made much more sense—size-wise, price-wise, and potential performance-wise than the bigger and/or smaller options.

Seeing as owning a real-deal Thunderbolt, or any other factory ready-made racer for that matter, wasn’t feasible then and without a doubt unobtainable for the average Joe, a 289-equipped Fairlane hardtop was, however—and still is to this day. And truth be told, the absence of that piece of metal called the B-pillar makes a world of difference for many in the style/looks department … besides, who really wants all those flimsy fiberglass body parts and gutted interior?! For a modern-day cruiser for a Bakersfield, California, couple like Danny and Diane Shaffer, the third generation Fairlane Sport Coupe was the perfect premise on which to build upon.

The Shaffers located their 1964 Fairlane as an in-progress build that had stalled a few years back. To get the hardtop project jump-started and back on track, Danny and Diane enlisted the services of American Speed Company in Michigan—the company behind the Speed33 steel roadsters—to handle the remaining tasks … which they did, completing just in time to debut at the 2016 Detroit Autorama.

To meet the demands of modern driving, a number of OE items have been replaced, starting with the chassis—well, more like the addition of a proper chassis altogether. The once-unibody Sport Coupe was outfitted with a new performance foundation from the Roadster Shop: their Fast Track pro touring–style square-rail chassis designed/equipped to be driven hard. Non-“standard” standard equipment include Roadster Shop’s proprietary IFS, four-linked coilover rear, Wilwood discs, and power rack-and-pinion steering. The powertrain features were stepped up quite a bit, too, thanks to the addition of a Ford Performance 32-valve Coyote V-8 that, with the forced induction aid of Roush Stage II supercharger purportedly puts out 620 hp through its TREMEC T56 Magnum to a 3.90-geared Strange 9-inch. It’s no 427 FE with a four-speed, but they only produced 425 hp anyway!

Though the exterior is not a departure from Ford’s original 1964 design, it’s been done in a manner that exudes the right amount of contemporary influence. Notice that beyond being void of visible mounting hardware, the stock bumpers have been sectioned and tucked tighter (a subtle brow added to the rear); the inner headlights have been converted to air intake inlets, a la the Thunderbolt (also fitting seeing as Thunderbolt taillights were used); the hood blister was slightly raised; and certain pieces of trim not brightened by Advanced Plating were instead given a satin coating complementing the car’s Budnik Remington wheels. Motor City Solutions (Taylor, Michigan) performed the bodywork and subsequent—and flawless—PPG Moss Green paintjob.

Before the Fairlane could make its Cobo Hall debut, American Speed had to design and execute an interior befitting of the project—which they did. The upholstery consists of charcoal-colored Wollsdorf leather and graphite carpet from ACC, the stock steering wheel has been reduced in diameter and leather-wrapped, ASC-series Classic Instruments gauges retrofit, and an Alpine stereo and Vintage Air system installed.

Danny and Diane’s Fairlane is the perfect mix of performance and styling expertly blended into a midsized package: driveable (not slammed) stance, pleasing color palette, and unbeatable drivetrain and suspension characteristics.
