car was in good original condition with no metal rust and a good fiberglass body. Their new canvas was an Art Morrison tube chassis, including an Art Morrison Independent Front Suspension with rack and pinion steering, but no power assist. Ron explained manual steering was fine for such a light car.
     There was no need to keep the straight axle, so in the back, Boyd installed his own Pro-Ride suspension, featuring a narrowed Ford 9-inch rear end. Boyd also installed Afco coil-over shocks and Wilwood disc brakes at all four wheels. Coddington’s major business today is his wheel company, so Berry chose a set of 18-inch Boyd Coddington blades. They fit inside the original wheel wells, but just barely when the shocks are in their lowered position, as seen in these photos. Raised, they have the necessary clearance for street driving.
