Factory Five Racing 1933 Ford - The Cobra In Henry's Clothes
|
Just open the '33's doors and it's obvious that this is no regular car. The frame's tall cross section required the Factory Five engineers to reduce the door jamb depth. Though it would seem to impact access, bear in mind that the car's floor is only 10 inches off the ground-in a sense you're stepping into the car. Note how the hinges disappear into the door jamb. Rather than mount to the jamb as they would in a conventional body, they actually pivot in bushings welded to the car's chassis. Bear in mind that this photo is of the FFR prototype during development, and not the production piece. View Related Article
