Vintage Rides 1927 Ford

From Bonneville... bout time I added some more pics. I have just a few!

Got a little tired of the white walls, plus I'm trying to push the car to one era or another.

this is in front of my house with some photoshop love.. i actually use "the gimp" to edit pictures

this is the cleanest she's ever been. also, the only time the header was red. it burned off immediately

Ride Specs & Info

Ride Nickname:
Bonnie

Make:
Ford

Model:
Roadster

Year:
1927

Introduction / Overview:

Here's Bonnie. She's a 1927 Roadster that I bought in 2002. It's a cool story how I got it when the late Boyd Coddington passed on it.

In case you didn't know, I'm one of the co-founders at MyRideisMe.com. We started as cars and bikes, but now we're only cars. I hope you like it! Leave a comment, say, let me know what you like!

Drivetrain:

It's a PINTO motor! Embrace it! C3 automatic and an 8" with 4:11 gears

The engine has a custom made header and a custom made intake, both made by me with help from friends. There's 2 weber 44 carbs on top. The internals of the engine are stock, but the heads ported and has been modified for a solid lift cam.

Chassis:
2x3 box frame made by the original owner. The front and rear suspensions I re-did later. Check out the pics. There are quarter elliptical springs front and back. I included a picture made from pro/E, the cad software I used to design the front end. Every seen that done before? The shock mount also mounts the spring and the headlight.

Wheels:
Just changed the wheels to 16" steelies with Firestone bias ply rubber. So far, they ride better then I though they would, especially in the back. I still run some stainless trim rings with caps.

Body:
yea. right. it's PPG primer black. She's also had a good taste of Bonneville salt. I left it on the tail light and license plate!

Interioir:
Custom by owner... haha.

Hi man, nice to have such a site to go to, thx., and thx. for the crew invite. Love your "bonnie" man, inline engines rule !!!I've always been a builder of bikes and trucks (mostly 4x4's) and now I've seen an idea that has spurred me to go ratrod... in a Big way. I'm gonna make a "rat semi rod" (blastolene inspired) I'll probably use a newer truck. I know of a early '70's KW that I'm attempting to buy. I haven't desided yet but maybe even "bucket" style (who needs a roof and, hood right)

Hey Pike. Cool to meet you. The CFAC was a gas. It was my 8th year. Keep up the good work. I'm just now learning to get around the your website.
Hope to talk to you soon.

I was reading that many area high schools and vo-techs build street-rods, hot rods for training purposes and fund raising. I would consider donating the use of the molds to one of them, and let My Ride receive the publicity/credit for the contribution
