It has a custom chassis from Bill Hart Hotrods with a dropped tube front axle and a mono leaf spring. It has a Unisteer rack and pinion and Flaming River Steering column custom machined to use the original Model T steering wheel. I made over 50 body mods to fit the 347 stroker small block Ford V-8 and Electronic Overdrive Transmission because early Model T�s only had 20� of width in between the frame body and hood. It has a widened 4 row Brassworks radiator and cooling components fan with a Vintage Air Serpentine belt drive and air conditioning system. Inglese Electronic 8 stack injection and Comp Cams roller cam lifters and rockers. The custom stainless fuel tank was moved to the rear along with a Hagan fuel door. The custom Jaguar rear end is from an early British 420 sedan with a 3:77 to 1 Posi-traction with polished forged aluminum lower control arms and bearing hubs. I fabricated the dash and the handmade steering wheel from Hawaiian Koa wood to match. The roof is fabricated from Northern Maple and covered with premium black marine canvas. All of the body prep work and fitting was done by myself friends and the finish is 5 coats of BASF Glasurit 55 Chrysler black enamel applied by Jeff Hixon of Ventura and massaged to a mirror finish. The interior is sewn in period woven fabrics. Because Center Doors were difficult to enter and exit many hours were spent modifying the front seats to fit and slide all the way back to the rear seat for easy entry. The wheels are Black Chromed Dayton 72 spoke wires and knock offs with Michelin tires. At car shows it is surrounded by cameras and people.
