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.

Howdy, been a member for a while but going to get much more active now that I picked up a new project/challenge, a 30 coupe. Solid car a barn find with an interesting story. Want to go the traditional rod route and will be hoping to get some ideas and maybe some hands-on assistance, I'm in S. Tempe.

Hey Pike great timing on the insurance article. Still working to get mine fixed since Good Guys show in March. Posted some new pics under "refresh". Insurance company, Grundy, has been a real challenge. Mark at Speed Sport and Doug at Squeeg's Kustoms have been great to work with. Hope to see you at GG next month
