Steve Braverman Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 It looks like a modified Model T Ford judging by the wheels and the visible suspension parts. Although the exhaust is on the wrong side for a Ford engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Also has a "fat man" tilting steering wheel. Looks like a homebuilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 WOW!!!!!!!! That is one great introduction to the Forum! Welcome! That is a Model T Ford based speedster, and a VERY well built one IMO. Note that the tie rod has been swapped to the front to clear the chassis after underslung brackets were installed, the rear has been lowered as well. The car is equiped with an Over head valve head, may be a 16 valve Craig-Hunt unit since they dumped the exhaust out the left side. The Fat Man steering wheel looks like a pre 1914 Cadillac item.Do you have any idea were the photo was taken? Thanks for posting it! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
