1927 FORD CUSTOM ROADSTER

Details

This 1927 Ford Lakester build started with an Old Dog Street Rods body and perimeter frame. It is powered by a Nick Arias Jr. Merlin 540ci hemispherical-head Chevrolet engine with an 8-71 polished Stage 1 BDS blower fed by six Stromberg 97 carburetors. The 6-speed TREMEC transmission is mated to a Speedway bell-housing transferring power through a McLeod race clutch to a Winter's quick change rear-end setup by Dutchman Motorsports. Stopping is accomplished using Wilwood disc brakes, with Cragar

polished wheels in front and Mickey Thompson's in back, wrapped with Hoosier tires. Fuel is contained in three separate vessels fed by a Harley-Davidson-inspired tank mounted behind the custom roll bar with a total fuel capacity of 18 gallons. Every fastener and part are painted, chromed or polished. The exhaust was designed and built using a Lakes cone-type header and Bologna cut mufflers. Suspension uses a Model A high-arch spring in the rear and a custom-built four-bar setup with a Panhard bar. The front suspension uses a low-arch spring with stabilizer bar, along with a Magnum 5.5-inch dropped and drilled axle. Friction shocks and a single ride-height adjustable air bag complete the setup. Model A taillights and fluted headlights add character to the flamed paint job and matching interior. The interior features an AutoMeter odometer and Steward-Warner gauges. With the sale comes a full array of build pictures and receipts for most parts. **TITLED AS 2008 KITV FORD 1927 MODEL** **TITLE BRANDED REPLICA**
