Flag this garage as inappropriateFord Roadster "Bonnie"
Drivetrain:
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 & Tires:
Wide white walls on red, powder-coated wheels. Astro caps and original Ford stainless trim rings
Body:
yea. right. it's PPG primer black.
Interior:
Custom by owner... haha.
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.

Here's Bonnie. She's a 1927 Roadster that I bought in 2002. It's a cool story how I got it when Boyd Coddington (booooooo) passed on it.
In case you didn't know, I'm one of the co-founders at MyRideisMe.com. I'm making it with a motorcycle racer and industrial designer called Napalm. Any questions or comments, we're the ones to talk to.
