My father-in-law let me take his '27 Ford roadster out for a spin last Sunday, so I grabbed my cammera bag on the way out...

Don't know all the details, but it's sporting a basic 350 crate motor.

thats very sexy dude

 

Sick

 

That thing looks like it would be a blast to cruise around in on the weekend.

Wonder how much it would cost to build something like that? Probably takes more fabrication skill than money, I would imagine. Unless, of course, you have no such skills, in which case I imagine it would cost a lot of money.

 

He had someone do the seats and side/door panels and a friend of his sprayed the base and clear, otherwise he did everything... I think he figures about $20k in it.

 

looks so fun to drive

 

How'd it drive?

 

clean.

 

Crazy sick!!!!!

Nice pics too!!

 

It drives okay... there's a little slop in the steering and the auto tranny is kinda clunky.
But, it doesn't weigh much so it's pretty quick. It's a lot of fun to drive.

 

Funny, I live in Portland now, but as soon as I saw the first picture, I knew exactly where that was.

A few nice little roads around there. Esp. the dirt road.

Ever go to the go kart track up the street, Primus?

 

thats bad *** my grandpa has one of thoes haha he wont give it to me..

 

Thanks

Sorry, didn't see your post right away.
I don't know Primus... the only cart track I know is in the Riverview area. forget the name, but it isn't Primus.

Yeah, there are some fun roads in that area, but I try not to go too fast on 'em.
My father-in-law is a cyclist and he and the guys he rides with ride these roads a lot.
I like to ride also, so I just like too be a responsible driver for the riders.

Kinda sucks though... it was way more fun before I got into biking 'cause I didn't care.

 

Wow, thats really really nice. Simple and clean. Are those e-cutouts on the side-exits?

 

That interior is simple yet done well.

 

pretty cool.
great photos!

 

Thanks for the comments guys.

The cutouts aren't electric... here's a side shot, followed by a closeup of the motor.

 

Def a head turner.....I can't imagine the look on people's faces driving that around town

 

Awesome little roadster.

 

It's a pretty interesting thing... same thing when I used to drive my pop's Cobra kit around.
It's pretty cool getting hard stares and way more than normal friendly waves.

 

nice pics

 

Sweet car, boo on the 350 though. :-/
