It rides on a custom-built tube chassis that's fabricated from 1.5-inch tube. Is powered by two 4.6-liter modular V8s from Ford with four, count 'em, FOUR superchargers for an approximate power output of around 1,200 hp.

These real life custom jobs always remind me of my childhood model building days. Back in the day the model aisle at Woolworth's seemed about 50 yards long.

I have a Rat Fink bobble head next to my computer - built all his models and got his autograph at a Seattle car show about 50 years ago.

Cool, but calling it a 1927 Model T is a bit of a stretch...

childhood model building days.

I did too, in my bedroom. Looking back on it, I don't know how I survived the glue fumes......
