Tangerine Scream
Kevin Tully doesn't mess around. With a technical background
in the military to shape his work and quality ethics, automotive
training at a shop that built drag cars, and an affinity for
traditionally styled hot rods, it was only a matter of time before
he decided that if he wanted something done right, he had to do it
himself. Thus, Hot Rod Chassis & Cycle was formed. Located in
Addison, Illinois, it's the kind of raw, no B.S. shop that
beats on the cars they build so you know you won't break it
when it's delivered. If Kevin can't break it,
it's ready for his stamp of approval and you know you have a
quality hot rod. Specializing in hardcore fabrication, the shop can
handle any project, and like this '33 Ford, they are
freakin' bullet proof when finished.
This one changed hands in midstream with the current owners Scott
and Jane Billish seeing it to completion. It began with the eBay
purchase of a project truck that needed a major amount of
"redoing." After looking it over, Kevin knew that
starting from scratch would be better in the long run. So the truck
was sold to make way for a stalled restoration project purchased
from the Indiana barn of a 70-year-old man who finally realized
that time was running out. The truck came complete with some extras
like a second set of doors, but it was paired down to just the cab
in the end, with the stock parts being sold off to fund a portion
of the build. The passenger door is a conglomeration of three doors
and a new outer skin.
