From now through Aug. 31st, follow Raybestos, Troy Ladd and the talented Hollywood Hot Rods crew in Burbank, California for a front-row screening of a hot rod build that could very well become your ride

Fan and follow Raybestos Brakes on Facebook and Twitter for exclusive info on the ride and don’tforget to sign-up to win at RaybestosGarage.com. Once finished, the traditionally-inspired,1932 Ford hot rod roadster pickup with modern technology and know-how - a.k.a. the Raybestos Roadster Pickup - will be given to one very lucky winner.

The Raybestos Roadster Pickup has been called the “ultimate parts hauler & shop truck.” Inspiration for the hot rod’s design is as if it was the Raybestos factory parts truck & show car in 1963, delivering brakes for the Indy roadsters up and down Gasoline Alley – as IndyCars were in fact running Raybestos brake pads at the Indianapolis 500 throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Design cues are pulled from open-wheeled Indy roadsters and Sprint cars of that era. The Raybestos RPU will feature:

  • 1932 Brookville Steel RPU body and custom fabricated box (BrookvilleRoadster.com)
  • From Ford Racing, the all new 5.0L Ti-VCT “Coyote” V-8 engine from the upcoming 2011 Ford Mustang deconstructed and re-dressed with vintage accessories to resemble the iconic 1963 Ford 427ci SOHC race motor (FordRacingParts.com)
