Bill Schoenleber's 1929 Ford
1929 Ford Model A roadster owned and built by Bill Schoenleber of Ashland, Oregon.[1]
A Tribute to the Dick Flint Roadster
Bill's roadster, is built as a recreation of Dick Flint's 1929 Ford Model A roadster, the famous hot rod that graced the cover of Hot Rod Magazine May 1952. The recreation is part of a series of vintage track inspired cars that Bill is in the progress of building. The first being a recreation of the Isky 1924 T. After the Isky T followed a recreation of Frank Mack's 1927 Ford Model T roadster. In June of 2017 Bill told Kustomrama that it has been a life long passion to recreate the icons of our rich hot rod past; "Next challenge is the Eddie Dye Roadster of which I collected most of the parts, it takes time and patience to get the project started."[1]
10 Years in the Making
In June of 2017 the roadster was almost ready for upholstery. By then it had taken over 10 years to build.[1]
