Long before billet street rods and catalog-built customs, young mechanics stripped down aging Model T and Model A Fords to create lightweight, homebuilt speed machines for dirt tracks, dry lakes, and backroad racing. The term &#8220;gow job&#8221; emerged in the 1920s and &#8217;30s as slang for these crude, loud, fast, and wildly creative machines built from whatever parts were on hand. Today, authentic gow jobs are regarded as some of the earliest and purest forms of American hot rod culture.<\/p>\n<p>Offered here is an extraordinary interpretation of that tradition. Built over a painstaking 3-to-4-year period as Father Ray&#8217;s personal project, this one-of-one machine blends classic gow job attitude with exceptional metal craftsmanship and thoughtfully integrated modern drivability upgrades. Unlike many period-inspired rods that trade usability for looks, this car was engineered to be fully functional, reliable, and road-ready while keeping the raw personality and visual drama of an authentic early hot rod.<\/p>\n<h2>Build &amp; Chassis<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Heavily modified Ford Model A chassis<\/strong> with extensive fabrication throughout<\/li>\n<li>Frame <strong>expertly pinched front and rear<\/strong> for a tight, aggressive profile<\/li>\n<li><strong>Z&#8217;d rear crossmember<\/strong> and <strong>flat front crossmember<\/strong> for proper stance and geometry<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rear section bobbed approximately 12 inches<\/strong> for a compact, purposeful look<\/li>\n<li><strong>Traditional Model A chassis and suspension components retained<\/strong> and carefully modified to fit the custom frame, preserving the mechanical feel of an early Ford-based racer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Body &amp; Exterior<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Steel body<\/strong> showcasing Father Ray&#8217;s eye for detail and proportion<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bugatti-inspired firewall<\/strong> \u2014 a beautifully crafted custom touch<\/li>\n<li>All original wood structure <strong>completely replaced with custom-fabricated steel integrated subrails<\/strong> for added rigidity and longevity<\/li>\n<li><strong>Widened cowl<\/strong> that improves foot room and comfort without disrupting the vintage profile<\/li>\n<li><strong>Handmade four-piece hood<\/strong> with GM-inspired vent doors<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chopped and leaned windshield<\/strong> for a lower, leaner stance<\/li>\n<li>Rare <strong>Wippet grille shell and radiator assembly<\/strong> with a custom lower panel treatment that gives the car unmistakable personality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Interior Craftsmanship<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fully custom dashboard<\/strong> with a glovebox and a cleverly hidden phone charger<\/li>\n<li><strong>Raised custom seat platform<\/strong> that improves interior space and driving ergonomics<\/li>\n<li>Ingenious <strong>reversed Ford Model T steering wheel<\/strong> adapted to a <strong>custom Model A steering box<\/strong> \u2014 one of many handcrafted details that set this build apart<\/li>\n<li>A cockpit that balances vintage style with subtle, genuinely useful modern convenience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Engine &amp; Mechanicals<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Traditionally styled <strong>four-cylinder engine<\/strong> for period-correct character<\/li>\n<li>Desirable <strong>Burns downdraft intake<\/strong> and matching <strong>Burns valve cover<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>New Stromberg 97 carburetor<\/strong> for enhanced drivability and performance<\/li>\n<li><strong>12-volt charging system<\/strong> for reliable, modern dependability<\/li>\n<li><strong>FS electronic ignition<\/strong> and <strong>mini alternator<\/strong> for easy starting and steady charging<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-new wiring throughout<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Vintage lighting discreetly converted<\/strong> with modern internals and integrated turn signals \u2014 safer road use while preserving the authentic pre-war appearance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Ownership &amp; Location<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vehicle located in New Hampshire<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean title in the owner&#8217;s name<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Presented by <strong>Zoom Classic Cars<\/strong> \u2014 call Jeff with any questions or to schedule an appointment to view the vehicle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Driving Experience<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Built to be driven, not just admired \u2014 fully functional, reliable, and road-ready from the moment you take the seat<\/li>\n<li>The Burns induction and Stromberg 97 deliver period-correct looks with genuinely usable performance<\/li>\n<li>Modern 12-volt electrics, electronic ignition, and updated lighting make it confident and safe for real-world road use<\/li>\n<li>Equal parts rolling sculpture, historical tribute, and usable vintage hot rod, this gow job turns heads and delivers an authentic early-rod experience at every cruise night and show<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1925 Ford Model T Roadster \u2013 Custom Traditional &#8220;Gow Job&#8221; by Renowned NH Builder &#8220;Father Ray&#8221; Zoom Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1925 Ford Model T Roadster \u2014 a recent custom &#8220;gow job&#8221; build by renowned New Hampshire hot rod craftsman &#8220;Father Ray.&#8221; Few cars capture the rebellious spirit and handcrafted ingenuity of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1362,"featured_media":1974908,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"content-type":""},"product_cat":[18],"product_tag":[658,152,58],"class_list":["post-1974907","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_cat-auctions","product_tag-ford","product_tag-model-t","product_tag-hot-rod-and-custom-car-auctions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
