This 1940 Ford Pick Up went through an extensive frame-off restoration by some of best auto-body guys in the business. The craftsmen who worked on this frame-off build took a personal interest in building this truck the right way - the meticulous way - because this truck was built as their crown jewel, their shop truck, and it was proudly displayed in their showroom to showcase their attention to detail and absolute dedication to craftsmanship. They built this truck right - no short cuts - everything done beautifully; from the body, paint and pin striping, to the underside, interior, wood bed, and engine compartment. Even the doors shut perfectly - super tight - as they should. It’s stunning inside and out, and even underneath. It was completely dismantled and put back together with every nut and bolt cleaned or replaced, and put back together better than new, and has over $20K in just the man hours of labor alone. It was prepped to perfection prior to paint - which is Hot Rod matte black with custom flames and hand painted pin striping/detail by one of the very best in the hotrod business. All this over striking red & black new interior. Truck Features:
Call or Text me for more info: 805-236-0210 ps- for those who asked, I acquired this truck when I learned that the owner/master builder had eye surgery and was retiring from building cars. I had admired this truck in his showroom for a long while and was honored to buy it. I'm only selling it now because I have 3 kids and they all fight over who gets to ride shotgun with me to the ice cream shop. So, I sold all my two- seaters, including my 1966 Corvette 427, and decided to only own vintage cars that can fit all my kids! Note: I'll include some pics I have of the build and some spare parts that came along from the builder. If for some reason you didn't want the hand-painted letters on the doors that read, "CUMMING Auto Collision", you can easily have the letters removed, or even have a local shop re-spay the doors with Hotrod Black (I have some left-over paint that comes with the truck). Personally, I love the shop lettering, but I'm biased because I live in Cumming, GA, and everyone here knows this local shop and how great their work is. For me, it's kinda like 'bragging rights' when you drive down the road, or go to a local car show. |

Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age
Thu, 17 Jul 2014In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
Ford cleans up painting process with cameras
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Knowing how the bacon gets made rarely entices us and, in the same vein, the same usually goes for knowing about how new cars get painted. But in both instances, however, quality - or a lack thereof - is instantly obvious. In terms of the latter, Ford is showing off its new paint quality process with 3D Dirt Detection Technology to find imperfections in vehicle paint more easily and more quickly.
This process - being performed on the F-150 SVT Raptor above - uses 16 computer-controlled cameras to create a three-dimensional model (inset) of the vehicle to detect flaws in the paint including dirt particles, which can then be buffed out manually. Ford says this new technology cuts down on time spent looking for paint flaws and gives workers more time to correct those that are discovered.
Currently, Ford only uses its 3D Dirt Detection Technology system at three factories (the Dearborn, MI facility, along with those in Louisville, Kentucky and Valencia, Spain), but it will soon spread to five more plants in North America. Ford has released a video and press release for this innovative and unexpectedly interesting process, both of which are posted below.
Ford posts decade-best $2.1B profit in Q1 2013
Wed, 24 Apr 2013As predicted, Ford has reported that its first quarter of 2013 was a resounding success overall, with a pretax profit of $2.1 billion ($0.41 per share), and a net income of $1.6 billion ($0.40 per share). In fact, Ford made a pretax profit of some $2.4 billion in its home North American market, with that total number being pulled down by losses in South America and Europe. That gaudy North American profit is the strongest result by the automaker since 2000.
Ford's companywide profit for Q1 was down $147 million from one year ago, while the net income number marked an increase of $215 million year over year. Overall, this is Ford's 15th-consecutive profitable quarter.
The bad news from the European market was even worst in Q1 2013 than it was last year. Pretax losses of $462 million - on revenue of $6.7 billion - represented a year-over-year change of -$313 million. In South American, the company reported a loss of $218 million, down from a slim profit of $54 million in Q1 2012. The news was better for Ford Asia Pacific Africa, where a $6 million pretax profit in 2013 showed a year-over-year gain of some $101 million when compared to losses in 2012.
