This is the semi-tragic story of a guy in the middle of starting his own business who got this build to about 85% completion, then simply became too busy to finish his once-beloved 1956 F-100 side project. It's now sitting around taking up space, so it's time to say goodbye. Don't let the paint fool you at first glance, this is no driveway junker. This is an 85% potential show truck with a ton of subtle mods and attention to details. It is a perfect project for someone looking for an easy hot rod build or even a quick fix-and-sell vehicle. Minor tuning, a tiny bit of wiring, and light bodywork are just about all this truck needs to be a completely unique custom hot-rod.

Ford 429 with headers, holley 750 carb, C6 transmission painted red/chrome motif. Top end gaskets replaced preventatively a few years ago, mileage on engine unknown but I've barely driven it. 
Ford 9" rear (recently replaced seals)
Not currently running but can be made to run again very easily. 

Will need to be towed. 
Brakes need to be bled
Small C-notch in rear frame
Rear axle flip kit installed
Air lift helper springs in rear in case you want to carry heavier loads or just jack the back up for a cool hot rod stance.
Fiberglass tilt nose with custom radiator and inner fenderwell supports. hinges with tailgate straps to support it. Right front fender piece of fiberglass is broken. I have 2 pieces here but just never got the chance to fiberglass the 2 pieces together. 
Custom hinges for nose, attched to bumper, so the bumper tilts with the nose.
Underbed aluminum fuel cell installed, rear crossmember moved. Electric in-line fuel pump on switch to act as a secondary feed to the manual pump in case you park on a hill or let the truck sit for a long time. Flip the switch to feed fuel up the fuel lines for a few seconds, then turn it off and crank it right over. 
Front door lip corners rounded and door frame reshaped to match. 
Tons of custom work in the bed. Bed sides built out 2" across stake pockets then reskinned, making the bed wall thicker, and adding more clearance for fatter tires. All corners radiused and rounded for a "chubby" custom look. Subtle, but looks cool and aggressive. Bed is designed so a simple custom tailgate will sit perfectly flush with bed corners. 
Custom roll pan with license plate bucket.

Custom under-dash switch panel. Extends entire length of dash, hides wires and heater unit, houses switches for air ride, interior lights, headlight LEDs and has a few extra spots for gadgets. 
All glass windows except one vent window are in good condition, good rubber seals everywhere.
Chrome door lip covers
Aluminum pedals
Lokar shifter

Only thing the interior really needs is a cheap headliner kit.

Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]

Sun, 08 Dec 2013

The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.

Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]

Wed, 04 Jun 2014



The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
