Ford Model T 1927 Description

1927 Roadster built by Barney "Oldfield" Pierce. professional rod builder in Oregon. Barney started with a '27 Ford roadster body on a model A frame that was fairly complete. Since he already had an old set of '30 Ford roadster fenders. splash aprons and running boards. he bolted them to the frame and then dropped the little '27 body down in between and bingo! It immediately looked like it was channeled and/or sectioned. You can see the stock '30 fenders sit up high on the body and make the body look smaller down between the wider fenders. It's a great all-Ford combination of parts. To keep the theme going. "Oldfield" also had an old '31 Lincoln grille shell. so he sectioned that 4-inches and added a '30 Ford lower half for the hot rod Lincoln look. Out back he added some frame extensions and dropped on an old Deuce tank he had and then made some frame horn covers.
