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.
