1927 Ford T RAT ROD

World Famous Boyd's Beater. This was Late Hot Rod hero, Boyd Coddington's last build on his show American Hot Rod. He drove it from California to Louisville, KY. DRIVETRAIN: A '59 Chevy 283 was bored .030-over before being balanced and blueprinted by A&D Racing in La Habra, CA. An Edelbrock dual carb set-up feeds the little mouse that pumped 370 hp on the dyno. Advanced Transmission in Gardena, CA went through the Powerglide tranny before it slid into the chassis.... CHASSIS: An unlikely pair of '31 Chevy rails is the basis for the chassis. It was noted that the Bowtie rails profile closely resemble the lines of the T body so Boyd builder Al Simon tackled the task of whipping up some custom cross members and hanging a host of traditional components from them. Up front it's a Magnum 5-inch dropped axle, split wishbones, Posie's spring, Pete & Jake's shocks, '40 Ford spindles, '48 Ford brakes and Vega steering. Out back is a Ford 9-inch rear, Pete & Jake's ladder bars and another Posies springs. WHEELS & TIRES: Not just simple steelies. Traditional rollers consist of a pair of 15 5 rims wrapped in 165R15 rubber and a pair of 16 7 steelies in 215/85R16 skins. INTERIOR: Bare basics cabin is wrapped in Gabe Lopez (Bloomington, CA) stitched black vinyl. Classic controls are a Lime Works '40 Ford-style wheel and column and a Lokar shifter. Stewart Warner wings in a custom-built dash panel monitor vitals.
