A Former Lost Angeles Unified School District truck. This is the final build for father and son team. The Father who was a fashion icon in the 1970’s teamed up one last time with his son a Restoration Artist to pay tribute to customers/friends, and tough guys everywhere. Everything on this build is a personal tribute to the people the Father knew and the “STUNT MEN PARTY” times around Hollywood. Knowing John and Steve he speaks highly of these two men and “ they always kept their word to me”  photo JB8_zps4ff8b8ad.jpg  The Father is now hard at work finishing his book. His jackets were made for Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit 2 (Red Bandit Jacket) among others. He made over 1.2 million Jackets in his career for Presidents and stars the world over. The truck’s name is “Tuffy” and he can really stir the soup. Built to be a Quick Truck vs. Muscle, this functional and fun piece can be enjoyed going anywhere without fear of getting a door ding. Though you could also drive it to your next club event, sports, car show or hootenanny and park under a tree and hang out. After a long event take a nap in the back ‘til the ladies get done.  photo JB21_zps2da62855.jpg  photo JB17_zps45b716c1.jpg DeVille Customs was started in 1964.

The headliner is a PVC backed with faux red suede. All artwork was done by the Son. Some pieces were hand painted. New carpet/padding. Bench seat was torn down and custom filled with new foam and added height and thickness to the bench. It sits very comfortably. The bed was carpeted. The carpet sits down with snaps so it can be removed. The side walls have hand made PVC panels covered in satin black vinyl. Completely waterproof. The body was straightened and customized by the Son. The paint has been done in gold over the original yellow. The painted was sealed and has been enhanced over the last 5 months to bring out the true history, character, and beauty of the way the truck naturally aged. A series of 800 grit all the way up to 2000 grit, buffing and polishing techs were used to enhance the natural aged patins and character to truly make this a ONE OF A KIND . The original tailgate was badly bashed up. It was repaired without using any body filler to maintain the same theme. The gate was de-seamed and disassembled, then worked back to shape and re welded together. The truck is very dependable, safe, and drives supper, and gets looks everywhere we go. When we come out of a store, there are always people around checking it out. So if you are ready to instantly be The Cool Guy, this is truly a fun, safe, reliable, go anywhere ride. Plus, she really stirs the soup.  photo JB37_zps8c761300.jpg  photo JB36_zps5c0a3693.jpg  photo JB33_zps8eecc4c4.jpg  photo JB31_zps7b5b8894.jpg  photo JB30_zps18ea55e7.jpg  photo JB28_zps72e366bd.jpg  photo JB26_zps8dd7cd61.jpg  photo JB25_zpsd457e299.jpg  photo JB24_zps900d30a8.jpg  photo JB20_zps22bdced7.jpg

Ford F-100 'Snakebit' shown off by Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed at SEMA

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Ford, along with KISS bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed, used SEMA as a backdrop to pull the covers off Snakebit, a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck that's been updated with Shelby Mustang-derived styling bits and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. All 550 horsepower are funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels.
Underneath the custom bodywork sits a chassis that's been stretched five inches and a bed widened and bedecked with billet machined pieces that are supposed to look like wood. The 20-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels ape those of past Shelby Mustang models. The interior is swathed in two-tone leather with a bench seat designed to look - try to act surprised - like a Shelby Mustang.
Like what you see? Bidding for the truck will take place in 2014 at an unspecified Barrett-Jackson event (we'd assume Scottsdale). Proceeds will be used to help build a children's hospital in Saskatoon, in the province of Saskatchewan, where Ms. Tweed grew up. See the high-res gallery above and the press release down below for more.

Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
