Features "The DUKE" - 1927 Ford T.R.O.G. Roadster

Man that thing is sweet!
Different approach, but it reminds me of Pete Chapouris's 26 Model T.
I'd take either of them in a heartbeat.

 

So cool!

 

That’s such a beautiful car.

GR8 !!!! I LOVE the look. That T is better looking than my favorite roadster......my fav roadster is the off topic Jaguar XK 140. What a perfect build & family prize !!!!!!

 

Very nice rig! I like all the little details. Good windshield set up too! Pretty damn perfect all around.

After running "The DUKE" at the 2020 RPM Nationals, it was decided the pissed off old flathead needed to breathe a little better ... so Walsh family friend, Cole @SlingShoter Ruchonnet was called upon to build a set of new headers ... tucked in tight to the body (to avoid the steering and the leather hood straps):

Well now, that just plain ****s. My condolences to her family and friends. They’ll be in my prayers.

 

Very sorry to hear of her p***ing.
RIP.

​

 

I just went through this upbeat thread to arrive at this sad message, damn, that's too young. Condolences to the Walsh family, RIP.

 

Condolences.

 

Such a sad ending

 

I read thru this thread earlier this morning for the first time, got to the end and my heart sank. What a blow this must be to the family. R.I.P.

 

Oh no! Rest in Peace, dear lady.

 

God Bless Cindy Walsh.

 

I never saw this thread. Awesome car. Sorry to see the most recent posts. My condolences. She was just 3 days younger than I am. Too young to go.

 

Literally my first thought as well! Prayers for her family...

 

That's just not fair. To young, to soon. Prayers for her family.

 

From Cindy's husband Justin:

Cindy’s long battle with ALS came to a peaceful end on December 26th. She lived every day of her 52 years with a love for life. Her kindness, caring and resilience were always present. Her greatest p***ions were family and friends, the 49ers and fantasy football. She was known as the Queen of FOMO and The Last Girl To Leave The Party. She will forever be missed.

Dang, that is sad to see. Such a cool gal who was fully involved in the hobby.
