Model T hot rod costs strain Fowler family finances
Derek Fowler's 1926 Ford T hot rod blends a Chrysler V8 with a rebuilt chassis and fiberglass parts. The build, begun in 1999, now totals about $60,000, far above initial expectations, straining his Canton Maryland household finances while his wife Linda and their 2-year-old daughter Sydney cope with the expense. Fowler's career spans Lufthansa, IndyCar teams, Ford, Lear, and Detroit Diesel engineering roles, culminating in a high powered, modernized T that uses a GM 700R transmission and a custom front suspension.
