Up for auction is my 1927 Ford Model T Rat Rod. In all honesty i really hate to sell this car but i am just plain out of room and have another one of my cars coming home from paint soon so i am going to put a couple things up for sale this being one of them. This is not your typical pyle of junk thrown together rat rod, this is a very well thought out and quality built car that is actually registered and titled as what it is a 1927 Ford Model T. To Start of with the Chassis and roll cage were custom built by a well know fabrication shop in southern california that specializes in building baja race cars,trophy trucks, pre runners as well as full chassis drag cars The frame is made of 2' by 3" box tubing and the cage is 1 1/2" dom tubing.The body does have rust and dents but it is supposed to it's a rat rod,it could still stand to have some finish welding done on the chop or can be driven as is. The body is 100% original steel no fiberglass crap here! As far as running gear goes the engine is a 1969 429 Ford Cobra that is mild motor with hydraulic cam 10:1 compression a vintage offenhauser tunnel ram with new dual holley 500 cfm mechanical secondary carbs and a vintage Joe Hunt Magneto with mechanical tach, We recently sent the magneto out to Joe Hunt and had the internal all refurbished,custom built headers that have had rinehart motorcyle baffells installed.The Transmission is a C6 that has also been recently rebuilt and has kevlar clutch packs,the transmisson cooler lines were hand built out of cooper tubbing and are one solid line no unions in them to leak. the rear end is a 9" with 3.55 gears and a spool.It has alluminum 10 gallon fuel tank in the trunk as well as electric fuel pump with a aeromotive  fuel pressure regulator with fuel pressure guage. The battery is also located in the trunk as well. The rear wheels are real vinatage american racing wheels with hurst DOT approved drag tires.Up front is a set of Radir spindle mount wheels wraped with motorcycle tires, The front wheels also have previsions for disk brakes if you wanted to install them down the road. As it sits the car only has rear brakes but they provide plenty of stopping power for the car. Front suspension has 4" drilled dropped axle, the rear suspenion is 4 linked with coil over shocks.New aluminum radiator with electric fan. You can drive this car anywhere it always runs cool.It has a very nice reproduction '32 Ford grill in it.The headlights are 1940 chevy with original lenses and updated halogen bulbs in them. The interior was done by a local shop here in town using a real cow hide for the seat. The throttle pedal is an old offenhauser pedal,quick release steering wheel.This is without a doubt the funnest car i have ever owned.It's funny but this car actually gets more attention then my friends lamborghini.Please realize that this in no luxury car by any means, it does not have a heater or a/c, or heated seats! It also does not have seat belts or turn signals but i have driven the car over to the coast and back about 160 miles each way.

Jay Leno drives postcard-perfect '32 Ford Highboy Roadster

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

At the turn of the century, it was arguably the Honda Civic that best defined inexpensive performance tuning, and in the '50s it was the Tri-5 Chevys. One of the earliest platforms to gain a huge following among young people looking for a cheap way to go fast was the classic '32 Ford Highboy Roadster. This week, Jay Leno's Garage looks at one of the very first vehicles that defined the look of the hot rod heyday.
This '32 Ford was built in the '40s and graced the cover of the fourth issue of Hot Rod Magazine back in 1948. All of the hot rods that you see shining at car shows today owe a serious debt of gratitude to this roadster. It bears all of the cues that define the look, including a notched frame and hidden door hinges. Under the three-piece hood is a flathead V8 boasting all sorts of period modifications, including copper cylinder heads. It was seriously fast in its era too, and proved it by reaching 112.21 miles per hour on a dry lakebed in 1947.
These days, this hot rod is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Although, if you can't make it to California to see it, the United States Postal Service is celebrating this Ford with one of its two hot rod Forever stamps. Like Jay says in the video, in terms of hot rodding, "it all comes back to this." Check out the video to learn more about this rolling piece of tuning history.

Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
