The Bully

 

Out front at the PPG graveyard themed booth at the 2017 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) was the “Bully,” a wildly painted 1930 Ford Model A Tudor sedan hot rod built by Dana and Lorene Hinkle of Ramona California and their three sons.

Steve Hansen completed all the metal fabrication work including building a new chassis, performing the 4-inch top chop and building all new interior panels and dashboard.

 

 

 

The “Bully” is  powered by a 540-cubic inch Indy Cylinder Head aluminum “Hemi” engine topped by a 8-71 supercharger built by Machine Tech which is connected to a turbo 400 transmission that transmit the power back to the Winters “Champ” quick change rear end.

 

 

 

The car rides on Mickey Thompson HR2 rear wheels and ET Gasser 10-spoke front wheels all shod with Mickey Thompson rubber.

The highlight of the car however is the paint which was laid down by Pete “Hot Dog” Finlan of Hot Dog Customs of Temecula California with PPG Refinish Vibrance Collection ® paints.
