The Street Rod Foundation, a 501 c (3) non-profit, public charity is doing good things for kids!

Based in Haslett, Michigan, The Street Rod Foundation’s mission is to reach out to communities and the street rodding community to help guide today’s youth.

The SRF is already well under way with their first street rod build – a project dubbed “Educator One.” Educator One – a Ford powered Dearborn Deuce roadster is under construction at Jackson Community College in Jackson, Michigan. The car is worked on every weekend in the college’s auto shop.

Dozens of teenage kids have joined the Street Rod Foundation and the organization is committed to additional builds following the completion of Educator One. Once the car is completed it will be auctioned off and a portion of the proceeds will be given back to the educational institutions and to the students that have participated in the project in the form of grants and scholarships.

“We’re really close to finishing the roadster,” said SRF President and Chairman Bob DiBlase. “Our organization needs one last push to get it over the hump. We need accessories like wheels, a hauling trailer etc. Any help would help us greatly."

Major contributors to the project include ASC (Dearborn Deuce steel body), Ford Racing (350hp 302 motor) along with product donations from many frontline street rod component manufacturers.

"This is really about helping the youth," says DiBlase. " With too many negatives and not enough positives, we're trying to street the kids in the right direction."
