This 1928 Ford Model A Rat Rod is a street-legal adrenaline rush on wheels. Its matte black exterior, chopped and channeled for an aggressive profile, sets the tone for this custom build. Red pin striping adds a touch of flair, complementing the red-tinted glass that gives this hot rod its distinct look. The 15" alloy wheels, wrapped in 195/65R15 front and P285/70R15 rear tires dated 2021, provide the perfect stance. Custom flush-mounted taillights and a unique camshaft welded between the frame rails showcase the attention to detail in this build.
Inside, this rat rod's interior is a masterclass in custom fabrication. Bucket boat seats offer a comfortable perch, while black shag carpeting adds a touch of nostalgia. The custom-built steel center console houses essential controls, and a chain suicide steering wheel puts a twist on traditional design. Diamond plate surrounds the aftermarket gauges, completing the industrial aesthetic. A roll-back vinyl top adds an unexpected open-air option to this otherwise hardcore hot rod.
At the core of this beast is a 350 V8 engine, claimed to be a 355, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. The powerplant features a mild cam, Holley single 4-barrel carburetor, and an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold. An MSD ignition system ensures reliable spark, while shorty headers feeding into side pipes with no mufflers create a symphony of raw power. The drivetrain is supported by a four-link suspension setup both front and rear, providing a balance of stability and adjustability. Power disc brakes up front bring this hot rod to a halt with authority.
