That happened cruising the Scottsdale Goodguys show in November and I never forgot, even though Otis Schmidt, the owner\u00a0of this bad hot rod may have thought I did!<\/p>\n<p>Otis, a hot rod, custom car and racing fan since he started building model cars at 12 years old, is now living in Moore, Oklahoma. He bought his 1929 Ford Sedan from Mark Riojas of Bridge Creek, Oklahoma after finding it parked right next to him at an NSRA show in Oklahoma City. Otis immediately dug the car cause it reminded him of a similar-styled 1934 Ford Sedan he&#8217;d recently, and regrettably sold . Between missing his 34 and the gold teaser parked right next to him, Otis contacted Mark soon after the show and a deal was struck on the phone.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/img_9463_2.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[4531]\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4562\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"4 Demon Carbs on the Hot Rod Sedan\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/img_9463_2.jpg\" alt=\"Hot Rod 4 Demon Carbs on the Hot Rod Sedan\" width=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/img_9463_2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/img_9463_2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/img_9463_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/img_9463_2-400x266.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>The first thing you notice about Otis&#8217;s 1929 Sedan, called the &#8220;Corrugated Flyer&#8221; \u00a0is the wild gold\/copper color. The color&#8217;s officially Gold Acrylic enamel. From there, throw in some flattener and mix in this-n-that to get a color that, in the sun, is really striking.

The body&#8217;s chopped a full 8 inches, including the 1932 window frame, then set down on deuce rails. Looking closer at the back end, you&#8217;ll see the rear was pie cut to fit a 1932 tank . (Click the image to make it bigger) Move forward just a bit to see the wheel wells from a model A roadster cleverly grafted in to tuck the big 8.90-16 Firstones mounted on steelies.

Along with his other talents, he also casts custom hot rod parts in his backyard! The steering wheel&#8217;s custom made to duplicate a 1940 Ford wheel and the instrument cluster&#8217;s made to look like a 1932 piece with a little patina cast right in. Subtle black pinstriping finishes the at the time unfinished interior.<\/p>\n<p>Up front, the induction&#8217;s pretty hard to miss, too. Cruising home for the first time, the 29&#8217;s Chevy LS1 was acting up and Otis blamed it on the original Stromberg 97&#8217;s and a vintage mag setup. Right then, Otis decided to run the new-stalgia look of 4 Demon carbs. After getting it running again with the Demon&#8217;s, the real devil turned out to be a couple flattened cam lobes. The old school true Stromberg&#8217;s weren&#8217;t running bad, after all!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Gasser madness in Pink Pearl!\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/66-super-sport-gasser-in-pink-yea-pink\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 4px; border: black 2px solid;\" title=\"Gasser Style 1966 Chevy Nova\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/img_9484_edit31.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage Drags - Gasser Style 1966 Chevy Nova\" width=\"200\" \/><\/a>Otis and his hot rod made the long trip to Scottsdale to visit his nephew over in the small Arizona town of Wadell.
