1927 Ford T RAT ROD Description:

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.
