T.R.O.G. 2023 Community Build - '27 Ford


Recommended Posts

Here is my take on a '27 Ford Tub built to The Race Of Gentlemen (TROG) specs. Went with a Frontenac 4 cylinder, scratch built front shocks and spindles, used a set of Ron Coons Resin front tires and wheels, and slapped on a pair of M&H Racemaster slicks for the  Flabob drag runs. This was primarily a test mule for weathering, as this is my first attempt at adding a "patina" and race-worn look to a hot rod. I experimented with some different techniques and think it came out OK, made some notes on what to try on future builds.  Posting a few different pics in the TROG thread of the Community Build section too.

One suggestion. Those slicks would be pretty useless on the sand. You should probably throw some traded ones in for running on the beach.

Agreed for the sand in Wildwood. The community build I created this car for is using the rules for the California TROG where the cars run 1/8 mile drags on an old pavement airfield, hence the switch to slicks.
