The POR-15 1932 Ford at SEMA

 

P.O.R. (Paint Over Rust) Products  is well-known in the automotive hobby for their signature rust preventative coating product POR-15, but in fact the company offers a full line of products that include metal preparation products, engine paints, high-temperature paints, undercoatings and fuel system treatments.

 

 

 

To show off the wide range of their products for use in the hobby, the POR-15 booth at the 2017 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show displayed a 1932 Ford roadster traditional style hot rod.

 

 

 

POR-15 first displayed a rebuilt 1939 Ford flathead engine equipped with an Offenhauser intake manifold with two Stromberg 97 carburetors and Offenhauser cylinder heads at the 2015 SEMA show, then brought the engine mounted in a finished chassis finished with the POR-15 3-step System Treatment for the 2016 SEMA show fitted with a T-5 manual transmission and a 1941 Ford “banjo” style rear end.  

 

 

The car's Brookville reproduction roadster body was prepared and painted by Classy Chassis Restoration in Midland Park New Jersey.  Final assembly was completed by the crew at POR.
