70’s -style Deuce Highboy Hot Rod

    
    Rory Meier kicks some serious Cobra butt in the only Deuce hot rod at the 2006 Run 'n Gun
    held Oct 12 - 14 at Gateway International Raceway near St. Louis.

    Fresh 351 C / C6.  8” rear end. Mustang steering & tilt wheel. 15” Ansens Slots.
   Vintique, Pete & Jakes, ASC, Edelbrock, Holley, EZ Wiring, Dolphin & more. 

Sure Harleys are fun, but this Hot Rod is even more fun for us. 

• Jack the Dog can go with us.  He LOVES to ride in the rod. 
• Ann loves sitting next to Woodsy instead of perched behind him on the bike. 
• If we want to take the folding chairs, cooler, etc. we have plenty of room in the trunk. 
• Fun open air custom ride with plenty of attitude. 

The best of both worlds!

Woodsy refreshed a 351 Cleveland for this 1970s style Highboy.  He started with a
Deuce roadster roller from nearby Heritage Hot Rods, and rebuilt and refined their
roller & chassis to craft this rock-solid safe driver.
