I started reading the &#8220;small&#8221; magazines, Rod and Custom, Car Craft, etc. around 1955 and bought my first car, 1953 Ford Victoria hardtop in 1958. I dropped it using dropped spindles, cut coils and a de-arched spring, removed the hood and trunk chrome, frenched the head lights and painted it bright red. Got involved in drag racing with some friends and belonged to the local hot rod club. Since that time I have always been involved in cars some way. I worked for several racing teams in the late 70s early 80s. I was\u00a0at Indy in 1983 with Interscope Racing, Danny Ongais.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Rex:<\/strong><\/em> <strong>Why did I choose the Ford ZETEC 4 cylinder engine?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I picked the ZETEC because you could get a nice manifold for injection from the SCREAM people and I wanted to run Hilborn injection. The motor is stock internally, I thought real hard about doing some cams but I have found that what you really want, if you drive them, is mid range torque and a set of cams would give me more hps above 4500 but not help the mid range. I am planning to do a couple of things to try to fatten the mid range, change the inlet ram tubes, add some adjustable cam pulleys and mess with them,\u00a0 but I am also considering a small blower at 5-7 lbs of boost. Talked to Jerry Magnuson at Bonneville and he said he had some small blowers that could work. I think that I could mount it on the right side of the engine if I moved a couple of things. I think that the DURATEC that is in the later Focus is a better engine mainly because of the 17% displacement increase plus they are lighter and you can use the Ford pickup gear box. If I did it again I would really think about a Nissan 2.4 motor as my son has one in his Datsun 510 and it goes like stink!! My motor is from a 2000 Escort ZX2<br \/>\n<strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Rex:<\/em><\/strong> <strong>Why did I build this kind of car?<\/strong><br \/>\nI built this type of car because I think it is an example of a type of car that was popular in the 30s and 40s but of course with a modern approach by using many modern parts, electronic fuel injection, disc brakes etc. I feel that my car is a &#8220;traditional&#8221; hot rod and by that I define traditional by being a car that is not your standard &#8220;belly button&#8221; car and it was build completely by myself, no high dollar shops or help, minamal purchased &#8220;bolt on&#8217; parts and I think this makes it unique.<br \/>\n<strong><em><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/hilborn_injection_0031.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[5082]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5126\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Hilborn Injected 2.0L Ford ZETEC powered 1929 Ford Roadster\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/hilborn_injection_0031-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"Hilborn Injected 2.0L Ford ZETEC powered 1929 Ford Roadster\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/hilborn_injection_0031-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/hilborn_injection_0031-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/hilborn_injection_0031-400x299.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/hilborn_injection_0031.jpg 799w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Rex:<\/em><\/strong> <strong>Is this my first roadster?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo, I had a full fendered 1928 roadster back around 1968.

Then, I got stuck on dirt bikes in the 70s and sold\u00a0the &#8217;28\u00a0to buy a new Husky 400 to race.<br \/>\n<em><strong><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Rex:<\/strong><\/em> <strong>What was the inspiration for building my car the way I did?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I have a wall covered with sketches that I have done for different kinds of rods that I have thought about building, (none of them are &#8217;32&#8217;s!) I started envisioning my &#8217;29 probably in the late 1990&#8217;s and refined it as I kept thinking about it. I liked the look and I was determined to be different, like using a 4 cylinder of some sort, have it sit\u00a0low, and have it involve a fair amount of fabrication, becasue that is what I like to do. In 2000 I had a small health scare and while sitting in my bedroom during the recovery I was thinking that if I am going to build a hot rod I had better get started! So I started buying some of the things that I knew I would need; \u00a0frame rails, body panels, sheets of aluminum, lengths of tubing, etc. Once I was active again I got started, and it took me 7 years to build.<br \/>\n<strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/interior.png\" rel=\"lightbox[5082]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5128\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Hand crafted all aluminum interior is all business\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/interior-300x225.png\" alt=\"Hand crafted all aluminum interior is all business\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/interior-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/interior-150x112.png 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/interior-400x300.png 400w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/interior.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Rex:<\/em> What does my car say about me?<\/strong><br \/>\nHard question! I like low cars, always have. I want my car to be different, which I think it is. My approach to building my car shows my engineering and fabrication background. One of the things that I like is that when I park my car, it is usually surrounded by &#8220;old farts&#8221; like myself, and they are looking at the details that I have done on my car and appreciating the engineering and fabrication that I have put into it. That is probably one of the reasons that I doubt I will ever really completely paint my car. Once you add paint then people start looking at the paint and not the car.
