My dad lives in Dayton and has met the guy that built this car. The interior is god awful- but period correct for the show circuit.

I wonder what needs to be changed to make it usable? Obviously get rid of the plexiglass valve covers and diff cover

That car is a perfect example of "just because you can doesn't mean you should."

Those rat rods are a perfect example of building a car to only one persons taste. They rarely pull any $$ because it’s one persons wild dream which is usually vastly different than any other persons wild dream

Is there something driving the blower on that T-Bird, or is it just for show?

Show only. It's most likely empty inside.

The steering wheel really needs to be redyed if not chunked up.

Put me in the 'don't like the wheels' column...but otherwise, nice looking formy. Interior is pretty striking. Actually, the style of the wheels is ok but the 20" size kinda gives them a conestoga wagon look to me.

I agree that 20” might be too big- I would prefer them in a 17” or 18”

Those look like they might be the forged US Mags Bandit wheels, which are slightly different than the cast version which had been so popular recently. Painting the centers white also changes the look.

I really like that style of wheel but agree that 20" size is ridiculous.

I want to get those in 18" for my formula and actually would prefer the 17s but want a 27" overall diameter and they're just aren't any 17" tires that are 27" diameter *and* both wide enough and the right performance characteristics.

I have 18”s on my 72 TA clone and they don’t look too obnoxious
