Vehicle Description
'27 T-bucket hot rod roadster. The body is a fiberglass 1927 Model
T Roadster. The body was prepped and painted by a body shop. The
frame and most of the suspension parts were powder coated by Monroe
Truck in Monroe, Wisconsin. This car has an Oldsmobile 330 engine
from a 1965 Vista Cruiser. Originally a two barrel engine, it now
sports the aluminum intake from a late 70's Olds and an Edelbrock
1406, 600 cfm carburetor with an electric choke. It has a Pertronix
coil in cap GM type ignition and a one wire alternator made by
Powermaster. I have replaced, the fuel pump, oil pump, water pump,
timing gears, timing chain, valve springs, and valve seals. The
electric cooling fan is in front of the radiator, behind the grill,
and is controlled by a thermostatic switch. The compression ratio
is 9:1 and it runs on regular gas. This car starts easily and
starts every time. I drive it whenever the weather is clear. The
lakes style headers were custom, and have internal baffles, and
re-positionable turn outs. The transmission is a GM THM200-4R built
by Gearstar to their level 2 spec. The driveshaft is a custom . The
rear end is a Ford 8.8 from an Explorer and has a 3.73 gear set,
limited slip, and QA1 coil-overs. It has disc brakes all around.
The steering column is a Flaming River tilt column with a Grant
steering wheel with GM harness. It has an E-Z Wiring kit, and the
wiring is hidden and run, as much as possible, within the frame.
The shifter is by Lokar. Gauges are by Dolphin and the speedometer
runs on a GPS sender. Taillights are 48 Chevy and the headlights
reproduction Guide 682-C by OTB. The grill shell is a shortened,
fiberglass '32 Ford. The air cleaner is a modern version of a late
50's Cadillac/Oldsmobile unit. It is roadworthy, has a clean, clear
title, is registered
