Monza and Aston gas caps were...
Monza and Aston gas caps were made by Enots in England, but the basic flip-type gas caps have a history that goes back 80 years. Eischen got this Monza cap through British American Transfer in Florida.
Back at Eischen’s the final assembly began with the wiring of the car with a kit from Centec and the installation of a set of Stewart-Warner gauges into an aluminum gauge panel made by CCM Rod Shop (an 8,000-rpm tach sits above the trans tunnel in its own bucket). The rest of the ’32 Ford dash was left alone, and a Lobeck steering wheel sits atop a column made by Eischen.
The engine is a standard 350 Vortec to which Eischen added an electric water pump and stainless steel plumbing. A SPAL electric fan moves the water in the aluminum radiator, and an East Coast Auto Electric a 50-amp alternator provides the juice for the electrical. Spark comes via a Joe Hunt magneto and MSD wires while exhaust is drawn out Doug’s Headers and through 2-inch stainless steel tubing and a pair of Stainless Works mufflers. But when you pop the hood, the first thing you see are the trio of Barry Grant 98s and the finned aluminum Hildebrandt valve covers. The motor is backed up to a Total Cost Involved TH350, which uses a Lokar shifter for gear selection.
Though Scotty has sold the previous Eischen-built cars he’s owned, he says this is the last one he’ll have built and he isn’t going to sell it. Considering the cars that have shared the floor of his garage and his well-known penchant to wheel and deal on a car or two, that’s saying something. Scotty also says even though he was a little afraid of driving some of the cars he’s owned in the past (due to them being such a large investment), he says he has no fears of driving this one, and can’t wait to get it out on the road.
Coddington 15x7 spindle-mount wheels and 17x10 pin-drive rollers were wrapped in General Altimax HP rubber.
Greening Auto Company makes the headlights used on Scotty’s coupe, and Eischen fabbed the radiator grille out of stainless. And as an example of Eischen precision work, that’s not a grille on top of the hood—it’s the top of the air cleaner, perfectly fit and flush-mounted.

The team at Coddington’s fabbed the aluminum radius rods, but Eischen drilled them out and polished them. The rods are part of the torsion bar suspension used up front, which work with Edelbrock shocks. Out back a Winters quick-change rearend went in with coilover shocks and a four-link setup.

Sano assembly is the hallmark...
Sano assembly is the hallmark of an Eischen build, and Scotty’s Vortec 350 is void of any unnecessary clutter. Triple Barry Grant 98s feed the motor while a combination of Joe Hunt and MSD parts supply the spark. Hildebrandt finned valve covers dress things up nicely, and the design is carried through to the air cleaner. Evidence of Eischen’s design and fabricating talents is evident in the engine mount as well as the steering shaft bracing. The Chevy is bolted to a Total Cost Involved TH350, which connects to a Coleman Machine driveshaft. Doug’s Headers pull the exhaust into 2-inch stainless steel exhaust and Stainless Works mufflers.

The stylish and subtle nerf bar rear bumper is kind of a signature piece Eischen makes for all the cars he builds, and it looks right on all of them. The taillights are ’37 Ford.
