2015 Grand National Roadster Show AMBR Contender: The Hirsh 1927 Ford Roadster


2015 Grand National Roadster Show AMBR Contender: The Hirsh 1927 Ford Roadster

Chopit Kustoms is the shop behind the construction of the Hirsh 1927 Ford Roadster. This is another car that definitely followed the idea that less is more sometimes. The clean lines, the beautiful paint color, the impeccable fit and finish, and an overall shape that just demands you keep looking at it make this a serious contender for the AMBR award. This car has a purposeful look to it with the Firestone (by Coker) dirt track tires out back and the skinny ribbed tires up front. The track nose is also a beautifully integrated piece and when you see the details on the top and bottom of the grill you’ll appreciate it even more.

The engine (which we couldn’t see) is a polished aluminum small block Chevy and we’re not entirely sure what the transmission is specifically. Chopit did all of the work with this car outside of the upholstery which was handled by Fat Lucky and the chrome which was done by Advance Plating. The body began life as an original 1927 Ford and was modified from there. Something that caught our eye here (and because nothing about an AMBR car is done without intention it was meant to be this way) was the width of the front axle. The nice wide axle not only gives the car a more substantial appearance, it also moves those front tires out further away from the body allowing your eye to really catch the wedge shape of the car. In the near head on photos below you’ll see that the car has a great taper to it front to back. This is another one we spent time literally gawking at.

    really like the simple awesomeness of this one, always liked track roadsters, this is a great one

    Always been a huge fan of Track Ts, but this one is especially nice. Curious about what it has for a motor.

    I’ve had a crazy idea of getting a Track T kit and then building a frame that accepts Miata suspension and drivetrain. Use the late model 1.8L VVT motor with a set of individual throttle bodies and an open header so it really screams.

    I like it, but the proportions of the nose are throwing things off for me. It’s just a little too long.
