Flag this garage as inappropriateFord Roadster "Bonnie"
Drivetrain:
Chassis:
2x3 box frame made by the original owner. The front and rear suspensions I re-did later. Check out the pics. There are quarter elliptical springs front and back. I included a picture made from pro/E, the cad software I used to design the front end. Every seen that done before? The shock mount also mounts the spring and the headlight.
Wheels & Tires:
Just changed the wheels to 16" steelies with Firestone bias ply rubber. So far, they ride better then I though they would, especially in the back. I still run some stainless trim rings with caps.
Body:
yea. right. it's PPG primer black. She's also had a good taste of Bonneville salt. I left it on the tail light and license plate!
Interior:
Custom by owner... haha.
It's a PINTO motor! Embrace it! C3 automatic and an 8" with 4:11 gears
The engine has a custom made header and a custom made intake, both made by me with help from friends. There's 2 weber 44 carbs on top. The internals of the engine are stock, but the heads ported and has been modified for a solid lift cam.

Here's Bonnie. She's a 1927 Roadster that I bought in 2002. It's a cool story how I got it when the late Boyd...

2.3 Ford Four Cylinder info
I know it's not period correct, but it's a pretty easy engine to use 'cause of availability. It's served me well. I decided to post my 2 cents here for everyone. I don't claim to be an expert, this is just what I've found/learned. I'll enjoy seeing other opinions and success stories.
So here's what I'd look for or watch out for when using a 2.3:
1) DIS stuff, it means, NO DISTRIBUTOR! Unless you're going computer controlled, you don't want that stuff. Most later model stuff is DIS.
2) Don't go for the 2 spark plug heads, I hear theres no benefit... also I think the D port head is the best... but unless you're racing, the oval's probably just as good. There's also an aluminum head and a full ARCA racing block... Bring cash!!
3) to run a solid lift cam (that's what I have) you need to modify the head. Try to find one that's already done, depending on if you want to buy the tool to do it yourself. And the roller-follower heads are cool, but it'll be a little harder to find cams; there are alot of roller heads out there
4) STROKE IT! If you end up buying parts, instead of a finished engine, go for the chevy rods or a longer rods with shorty pistons. It's better for torque. You can pretty easily get to 2.7L. (with the Ford SVO tall deck block, you can get to 3.0L!)
5) also, try to find a 2.5L crank. You might have to get some main bearing inserts (not that expensive) but it's a cheap 200cc's! Later model Ford Rangers had the 2.5 w/o the distributor.
6) If you're gonna run an automatic, don't feel like you have to find the elusive (=pricey and often cracked) 2.3 to C4 bellhousing. The C3 I have has served me well with a shift kit and rebuild. It shifts hard. The only trouble is the stock stall converter. But, Hughes, here in AZ will build a custom converter for only about $300. By the time you buy a C4, build it and buy a higher-stall converter, I think you'll save money. I'm using a slightly modified Chevy 350 Genie shifter too (with a killer ChromedRat shift knob!). If I had room for another pedal, I'd run a manual and solve a BUNCH Of problems! NO can-do in a narrowed 27 modified.
7) The valve cover selection sucks, that's why I designed the finned one. The one on my car is the nicest of what's out there, but the last one like I have sold for $174! Try to find a chrome, stamped one, or a stock one and pinstripe it up!
8) For the intakes, you can get an Esslinger-2 barrel or Offenhauser 4 barrel one fairly easily, they come up all the time (I have an extra Esslinger). Watch what the ministock racers are running. The one I have is custom, but you can buy a similar one from Esslinger. Watch out for interference with the distributor for trick custom intakes.
9) Websites: turboford.org (mostly turbo guys, but a good crowd); esslingerengineering.com; http://racerwalsh.zoovy.com/ (under 4 cylinder) those are the ones I've used. And, I just found this... http://www.ringsurf.com/ring/ford23/ its a 2.3 web ring. I'm gonna check it out. There are many other sites.
Finally, watch out for other Ford 4 banger stuff. To my knowledge, NOTHING interchanges. 2.0 stuff won't work and later model 2.3 stuff (ztec) won't fit. I've found the COOLEST valve cover, but it only fits the 2.0.
Here's my ebay searches to narrow the search for the right 2.3 parts. You still get some crap, but it's less. You should be able to cut and paste, then save the search.
("2300", ,, "2.3", ,, esslinger,, "racer walsh") -"2.3" -,autometer, -fiat, -vega, -monza, -mazda, -mercedes, -focus -aspire -topaz -probe -taurus -bronco -"f-150" -windstar -f150 -honda -chevy -(harley, headlight, light, shirt)
and
"2.3" ford -focus -aspire -topaz -probe -taurus -bronco -"f-150" -windstar -f150 -honda -chevy -(harley,headlight,,light,shirt)
I hope this is useful to someone!
Have you seen me?
Do you have any information about this car? It was my dad's and I'd really like to know what happened to it.
Thank you!
Learning The Gimp
I want to be a better photographer than I am now, that's for sure, but I've got a few decent shots. I like to take pictures of my car, then put crazy sunset's behind them. I'm just barely scratching the surface of what "The Gimp" software can do. If you like photo editing but don't have a year to learn Adobe Photoshop, try it out. Best of all, it's free! Here's a good tutorial page for it: Learn The Gimp
So here's what I started with. It's a good shot, I think.
Then I used this sunset. This sunset was taken in front of my house and is UNEDITED!
Then I put the two pictures together! It wasn't too hard to do since the parts I cut away had alot of straight lines.
I hope you like it! Please check out my website: www.myrideisme.com or see lots more pictures of this car in my garage.

01-08-2010 11:12 AM Hi man, nice to have such a site to go to, thx., and thx. for the crew invite. Love your "bonnie" man, inline engines rule !!!I've always been a builder of bikes and trucks (mostly 4x4's) and now I've seen an idea that has spurred me to go ratrod... in a Big way. I'm gonna make a "rat semi rod" (blastolene inspired) I'll probably use a newer truck. I know of a early '70's KW that I'm attempting to buy. I haven't desided yet but maybe even "bucket" style (who needs a roof and, hood right) |

10-04-2009 2:29 PM I was reading that many area high schools and vo-techs build street-rods, hot rods for training purposes and fund raising. I would consider donating the use of the molds to one of them, and let My Ride receive the publicity/credit for the contribution |

10-04-2009 10:54 AM WHY DON'T WE BUILD A "MY-RIDE-IS-ME" MONSTER-T? I WILL DONATE THE USE OF MY MOLDS, AND IT COULD BE A ADVERTISING SHOW-PIECE FOR EVERYONE, INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT. |

I'll be driving my 55 Chevy, leaving on Aug. 1st and coming back around Aug. 13th. The Yellowstone Rod Run is Aug. 6, 7, 8 and 9th. I expect to kick around Yellowstone longer... but may make it to Speed Week. |
