The Ford 999 was Henry Ford's second race car. He built a pair of them and while the two where distinct, they where nearly identical in terms of driveline and chassis configuration.

This video describes the history behind the car that eventually launched Ford into the history books as both a world record speed setter and later the Ford Motor Company and the legacy he created.

I also did a video on his first race car and the story behind it. You can watch it here    • Henry Ford Drove This Race Car Only O...

When I am not making images for my normal (if there is such a thing) bodies of work as a photographer, I make plenty of fun videos for my Model A or other related videos from that time period that you can find on this channel too. Be sure to check them out.

As to gear, I shoot a variety of full frame Nikon cameras and lenses. Most everything is shot on a tripod to produce the sharpest images possible.

My 1930 Ford Town Sedan has eyebrow fenders and still has the original interior. It's certainly worn but it still is functional. I have rebuilt the driveline, suspension, and tie rods, installed a modernized Model A motor with oversized intake valves, insert bearings, and a high compression head. I also have a lightened flywheel and V8 clutch. The car comfortably cruises at 50MPH but I've had it up to 60MPH. I have also insulated and installed sound deadener which has made the car enjoyable to be in even at 90 degrees.
