1927 Ford Model T Street Rod

Here is my latest project, a 1927 Ford Model T Coupe. Below is a picture of the car, and in the background you can see the frame, and the engine/transmission. I will try to update this site as much as possible.

Here is the build plans as they stand right now:

Body: 1927 (or 26) Model T Coupe, 1928 Model A Grill Shell
Engine: 1950 Ford Flathead Engine w/ 3-Speed manual
             Regular dual intake w/ two Holley 94s
Frame: 1928-31 Ford Model A
Suspension: Front - Early 30's Willys 6 dual leaf spring flipped upside down.
                              Rack and Pinion stearing off a Ford Fiesta (yes it works!)
                   Rear - Ford Model A
Rear End: 1997 Ford Ranger 7.5" w/ 3.73
Wheels: Currently Ford Wire, but will be Early Plymouth Steel

At the Goodguys Rod & Custom show at the Kansas Speedway. Made three fast laps around the NASCAR track. Well, ok, fast for this car (around 80mph).
