1926 Ford Tudor Sedan Traditional Hot Rod. This car was finished in 2006 has seen nothing but trouble free miles since. Driven to local as well as out of town shows like Paso Robles and Billetproof in Antioch. The car has been in many, many magazines like Rolls & Pleats, Rod & Custom and Traditional Rod & Kulture. This was built right and was intended to be a permanent fixture in the owners stable but plans have changed. He has the urge to build another Hot Rod and the wife says something has to go.
Starting with a body that took very little metal work and filler to make arrow straight the car was painted with a single stage royal blue with gold inserts and red pinstriping. A stock Model A frame was lengthened to accommodate a Chevrolet Inline 6 mated to a rebuilt 700R4 transmission. The front suspension is from a '46 Ford with a suicide perch and a Chevy 10 bolt with a pair of adjustable coil over shocks out back. Front brakes are '57 Ford pickup drums which were completely rebuilt. The car sits on a set of stock style 16 inch Ford wires built by Rally America with a set of bias-ply Firestone wide white walls. The car needs door glass to be completely finished.........cheap and easy fix due to flat glass.
The car runs great and stays cool with the help of a Walker 4 core radiator even in the brutal Summer of California's Central Valley.
Here's a list of the many highlights:
Offenhauser intake with three Rochester single barrel carbs.
Split manifold with dual Smithy's glasspacks.
Modified '56 Mercury dash, with working underdash gauges.
1950 Kaiser taillights.
Lokar shifter.
Walker 4-core radiator.
Firestone bias-ply wide whites.
I have a stack of reciepts for all parts that will be included with the car.

Ford turns Navistar from truck business customer to rival
Mon, 19 May 2014There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.

Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers.

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers
Thu, 12 Jun 2014For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
