On the other side of the spectrum was Don
Smith’s Street Rod of the Year-winning Fordor – a car he
purchased years ago from Tex Smith. A rarity these days, the
family-friendly sedan is a testament to Don’s passion for
deuces as well as builder Jeff Kinsey’s coach building
prowess.
The long, sleek DuPont-orange sedan has been
wedge-chopped two inches in front and one and a half inches
in back as well as channeled one inch. A custom Hot Rods by
JSK chassis features ¼ elliptical springs by Posie’s and a
Winter’s quickchange with 4:11 gears. The Dayton wire wheels
are wrapped in Coker 4.0 and 650 series bias ply tires. The
open hood sides reveal a perfectly-painted and smoothed
336-inch Ford Y-block V8 with a Hilborn injection system
converted to EFI by Auto Trend. The interior is a
blend of custom one-off parts & pieces by JSK and leather
bench seats and trim by Paul Atkins.

modified driver into an innovative and great-looking super
rod requires serious commitment and careful planning.

Accessory Fuse/Relay Panel Installation

Excerpt from article:
"Before I ran out and bought separate fuses, relays, switches and wire, I decided
to search around to see if any products existed that would make the job easier.
I found a fuse/relay block at Autotrend that looked like it would make the job
much easier.
The Autotrend fuse/relay block comes
with:
-
2 relay controlled 30 amp outputs (perfect for lights & heated
seats)
-
2 fused 12v outputs (future GPS, stereo, etc.)
-
A hot lead that connects directly to the battery.
-
Ground lead.
-
Ignition hot lead for triggering relays
-
Two leads that connect to accessory switches.
The fuse/relay block looked simple to connect up. I didn’t have to figure out
the difference between relay pin 87 and 87A or if I was going to trigger my
headlight switch with 12 volts or a ground. The wires for the HID light control
switch were already connected to the block and the switch end just had to be
screwed in place. Sounded like a great solution for me."
