" Ford&amp;#039;s Model T changed the world for the better, but it certainly wasn&amp;#039;t designed to go fast. Luckily, once people started to get bored of its 22 horsepower flathead and two-speed gearbox, a massive range of aftermarket parts hit the scene, turning these simple and tough vehicles into the first hot rods thanks to the enguiniety of their speed maniac builders. Because nothing is off limits, you can literally end up with anything using Model T, Model A and random pre-war bits from other US makes, but Clayton Paddison&amp;#039;s car is an especially tempting mixture of old and new, with a high-compression motor using a pair of Stromberg 81 carbs, 12 forward gears instead of 2, a Model A exhaust manifold and the heavy-duty steering off a 1912 White truck. After buying a wreck for $800, he spent about another $6000 to end up with a hot rod that will do everything from Bonneville to Jay Leno&amp;#039;s neighborhood in Los Angeles, wrenching with his kids.  Being the owner of a stock Model T, Jay was impressed by Clayton&amp;#039;s ride, and so are we:        Having six reverse gears sounds fantastic. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
