Projects 1927 Ford Roadster first drive out of the garage

It's been a long time building this roadster. After my divorce I needed to get my mind off of bad things that just seemed to keep coming, so when I came across this roadster I offered up a trade and got a pinched 32 ASC frame built by dirtys speed shop and the 27 roadster body. I'm a poor single dad of a beautiful 7 year old, so money has been tight, I've compromised a little here and there to get to this point, but overall I'm happy. This has been a challenge, and by no means is thing perfect, I wouldn't be here without the help of my friend and club brother and now we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Hope the videos work?

Cool man! Congrats!

 

That quick little smile in the first video says it all. Congrats on a cool ride. Now drive the fool out of it and keep making the small improvements as you can. I'd roll it as is myself.

 

Nice little roadster.

 

Nice job! Glad you toughed it out and made it work, now go and have some fun.

 

Cool! Enjoy the heck out of it!

 

Looks great!

 

I dig it. It's awesome.

Very cool! Nice looking and good sounding flathead. Hope it makes the ex jealous!

Could you post a couple of pics of the throttle inside of the rod? I'm looking for ideas.

Nice!!!
Take your kid with you on the first around block ride. Start building memories from the get go.

 

Very nice, and sounds great.

 

The first drive. There's nothing like that feeling. Good job buddy!

Trading a wife for a roadster....some would say that's a good trade!

 

Well done.

 

your 7 year old is gonna love getting the occasional ride to school or sports practice ...
well done !

 

I don't see too many compromises brother! Awesome work under some very tough circumstances. You should be proud.

 

Awesome job Alex, you nailed the 40s look to perfection.

 

Good for you man! @ChuckleHead_Al I did the same thing after my divorce. My Boys are now 13 and 10 and with me full time. the 3 of us live and breathe hotrods. We have built some great stuff together and it really made all the hard times easier. The roadster looks killer!
