As with so many hot rodders, the seed was planted very early for Lynn Bird. While his earliest memories would be of his uncle’s fixed up cars when he was very young, Lynn would forever be a builder after he was introduced to scale model car kits in the Fifties (one of his favorites was the Ala Kart kit). In the early Sixties, Lynn was a teenager in Southern California, where, in addition to cars, he was drawn to the beautiful nearby coastline. Many years and almost as many cars later, Lynn was starting yet another project with a few forlorn pieces and a picture in his head as to what he could turn those bits into. A well-used 1927 Ford Model T roadster cowl and pair of doors found their way into Lynn’s busy garage, and were all he needed to get the wheels turning toward building his own version of a Fifties “show rod” inspired by the Ala Kart.
