Projects 1927 Ford Roadster first drive out of the garage

I've built 3 '27 highboys, and yours has the absolute stance! Very much a looker, wheels are in the right place (!)
Some I've seen 'compromised', and moved the body back for firewall/engine clearance!
I noted the position of the steering wheel: Hard to get 'right' in a '27 roadster, yours looks great.
Especially liked the last group of photos, the rear/quarter view. Really dramatizes the rear body lines, and the tire size.
My present '27 is also a Deuce-framed highboy...but it's a touring. (tub)

 

If that's your car in your profile pic, you took it to the Bustle, I'm sure you did, I dug your car, don't ever sell it, if you do let me know

You hit the nail on the head, the steering wheel, column and the clearance between the engine and headers, it was one of the toughest things to do for me. I've also seen folks mount the the grill ahead of the front crossmember that kills it for me, I don't like that. Thank you for posting, it means a lot, especially from someone that has built 3 27s and knows the struggle and your attention to detail.

Good for you man!!!!!! I went thru the Big D 7/8 years ago my project got put on hold for a bit but in the end got finished. I know what your feeling, Take that kid out and drive the wheels off that thing!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks !, glad you like it!

 

Thank you, heck yeah this weekend going to take her for a spin.

 

Oh man, such a bitching pick. Thanks Trey, yes keep me posted, Raul is planning something even more legit for the winter, I will keep you and Mike in the loop.

 

What a sweet ride, nicely done... everytime I see a 27 roadster I want one more & more... that's on my bucket list now, one like yours !
I see your from San Antonio, got engaged there, always looking for an excuse to visit again... hope to see your ride in person someday, well done.

 

If you're ever in town definitely let me know and thank you for the kind words. The car's not the best, but it'll do for now as I make more and more improvements (salt flat style tonneau cover is next)

The pinch and welds on the 32 frame is a thing of beauty, this wouldn't have been possible without Dirtys speed shop

Just read whole thread, what a neat roadster. You got factory looking rivets and steering box hole in the frame huh? What neat details. Enjoy it!!

 

Thank you, hope to see your build on here.
