In October 95 Leon & Sharon Biesiadecki bought this 23 “T” kit from Total Performance. Together Leon & Sharon built this “T” in about 3 months! Of course Leon had a little advantage in that he owns a company called Classic Concepts. Where he dose one of a kind custom Street Rod & Hot Rod fabrication. With full machine shop capabilities and his expertise in Plasma Cutting and TIG welding Leon made short work of the chassis modifications and custom mounting the Ford 240 six cylinder. The engine modifications include a Clifford intake, 390 Holley carb, Isky cam, a beefed up C-4 trans., a 8” rear with 2:80 gears. The exhaust is custom made, he notched the firewall and moved the radiator forward 3” so as to not have to lengthen the frame to get the engine to fit.
The car is named “23 Fink” after the Rat Fink, who was a rebel, just as this car is a rebel by using a SIX instead of the usual 350, and also using a Ford in a Ford. If your planing a project in the Ridgecrest CA. area contact Leon at: (760) 377-4855
