Here’s a sweet 1954 Ford F100pickup!  Completed just this past fall it’s as fresh as they come, with the look that everyone wants and all the right modern upgrades to make it drive like a more modern truck.  Spend less time cleaning, polishing and tinkering and more time cruising.  The truck comes with a NY state registration. 

This is a custom truck that you won’t find anywhere else. The roof has been chopped 5 inches.  The front bumpers are 1958 Chrysler Imperial and the grill has been treated with a POR-15 product over scuff polished steel.  The hood has a reverse hinge kit and operatessmoother than most factory reverse hoods.  The bed is a Ford Ranger step-side with F100 fenders grafted into it, giving a more appealing look then the old utilitarian beds of the time.  The bed also includes a late 80’s flip open Jaguar fuel cap, 1955 Thunderbird tail lights and 1958 Impala reverse lights.  The tail gate has been fabricated so it could be removed and a worthy motorcycle could ride in the bed.  The rear bumpers consist of a little 50’s Desoto Grill and some 50’s Chevy bumper parts. The running boards are even completely unique.  The windshield is a polycarbonate plastical so included with the sale is a solid side glass kit that will still need tobe installed. 

The paint is a Hot Rod Flatz SteelBlue with old school scallops in a darker navy blue and finished off with beautiful pinstripes laid down by Mark Matyjakowski.  http://www.pinheadlounge.com/MarkMatyjakowski   The bed has beenlined with a super hard two part epoxy tan finish that will take a hatchet tochip and should possibly outlast the steel it’s applied to.

The truck has the drive train of a1994 Ford Ranger which includes power steering, power brakes, disc brakes upfront, independent front suspension and an automatic transmission.  This makes maintenance on this truck very easy considering all the parts are very attainable at most any local parts shop.  The front brakes are brand new, including all new brake and fuel lines throughout the truck, the rear drum brakes still need to be replaced. The front suspension consists of a brand new DJM Suspension Dream Beams dropped I-beams and the rear is a DJM flip kit.  The truck rolls on old 15 inch steel wheels, wrapped in NOS vintage Firestone bias ply wide whites.  Inclueded with truck is one spare matching tire.

The reverse hinged hood opens up toreveal a strong running 4.0 V6 Ford Ranger engine, with a custom cold airintake.  (Consider that they have several V8 swaps available for these frames)  The exhaust system has been completely replaced to include the manifolds, down tube and oxygen sensors.  Some Thrush mufflers finish off the exhaust with a nice throaty sound and a pair of tips stick out each side of the truck for an old style custom look.  The Radiator and A/C Condenser are also brand. 

This truck has that new car smell we all love as a result of the freshly wrapped seat and door panels.  This brown faux leather interior looks and even acts just like real leather and durable enough to be used for outdoor furniture.  The truck maintains factory Ford Ranger heat and A/C with the controls hidden in the glove box. The gaugecluster is factory F100 with a working retro-fit speedometer.    The custom 50’s Pontiac gauge pods in thecenter of the dash display water temp and oil pressure.  Finishing off the door panels with a set of armrests out of an early 60's Ford Fairlane.  Another nice little addition is the modified shifter that has been langth end and toped with a number 4 pool ball.

NOTE:  The two photos of the truck out doors with out the model, you'll notice it's missing it's pin stripes, sits on differant wheels and the windshield it not full.  These photos were older and taken before the truck was finished to the point it is now.

Facelifted Ford Focus caught testing in the cold

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

It's that time in the life of the Ford Focus to get a little work done - a nip-tuck here, some Botox there. Yes, Ford is testing a facelifted version of its global C-segment entry, which first hit markets in Europe and North America in May 2011.
Like the touchup on the Fiesta, expect Ford's gaping grille to make its first appearance on the Focus. Our spy photographers point out that this is likely to be a more comprehensive makeover than previous spy shots suggested, based on the additional camouflage seen here on the front and rear ends of this five-door model. New head and taillights are also likely in order, as are changes to the front and rear fascia.
The interior was also snapped and features a cleaner design with a larger central display. Other than that, it looks like some buttons have been changed, making us think most of the Focus' updates are limited to the exterior.

Weekly Recap: Marchionne's Manifesto again calls for industry consolidation

Sat, May 2 2015

Sergio Marchionne isn't taking no for an answer. Despite public rebuffs from General Motors and Ford, the leader of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles continues to push for consolidation within the auto industry. His latest assertion came Wednesday when he said a combination of FCA with another automaker could net savings of $5 billion or more annually. No, this isn't about selling his company, he claimed, it's about cutting costs. Put simply, the auto industry wastes money, Marchionne said during FCA's earnings conference call. Companies invest billions to develop basic components that all cars use, but many consumers don't care how they work or recognize the differences. "About half of this is really relevant in terms of positioning the car in the marketplace," he said. "The other half, in our view, is stuff which is neither visible to the consumer nor is it relevant to the consumer." In 2014, top automakers spent more than $100 million on product development, FCA estimated. Marchionne said consolidation could save up to $1 billion on powertrains alone, noting that almost every automaker offers four- and six-cylinder engines. Not everyone has to make their own, he contended. "The consumer could not give a flying leap whose engines we are using because they are irrelevant to the buying decision." That's pretty provocative for enthusiasts, but less so for average consumers. Still, there are major differences in power and efficiency ratings, even among similar engines. Skeptics could argue consolidation would also weaken competition and reduce choices for car buyers. Marchionne stressed his presentation, curiously entitled Confessions of a Capital Junkie, wouldn't require closing factories or dealerships. It's not his final "big deal" as CEO, intent to sell FCA, or a way to elevate his company up the automotive food chain. He claims he wants to fundamentally change the industry and its habit for burning cash. "The horrible part about this, and the thing that I find most offensive, is that the capital consumption rate is duplicative," he said. "It doesn't deliver real value to the consumer and it is in its purest form, economic waste."

Recharge Wrap-Up: Tesla, CarCharging and the EPA

Sat, Aug 23 2014

Credit Suisse analysts are bullish on Tesla. The group gives the electric car company's stock an "outperform" rating with a target price of $325. For its continued success, Credit Suisse cites the vehicles' superior technology, in turn offering more torque, roominess and reliability. Says analyst Dan Galves said of Tesla's competition with ICEs, "If Tesla can get to cost-parity with Internal Combustion vehicles and still offer $1,400 to $2,500 per year fuel savings to the consumer, it won't be a fair fight." Read more at Yahoo Finance or at Business Insider. In other Tesla news, Tesla Model S owners will be able to unlock and start their car using an iPhone. The Tesla app is adding this functionality soon, perhaps with the update to iOS 8. It's not yet clear how this function will work, but it's one more innovative convenience feature that Model S owners can enjoy. That means drivers will have less to carry in their pockets or purses when they go for a drive. Read more at 9 to 5 Mac. CarCharging Group has remotely lowered the amperage on some of its residential users' Blink charging stations to 24 amps. This will slow down the charging time for affected customers with 6.6-kilowatt charging by about 15 percent. The company cited safety reasons for the move, with concerns about overheating. The amperage reduction is temporary, until CarCharging is able to provide replacement parts for the chargers. Some are concerned about the delayed action, as well as the fact that the reduction was handled without owner permission. Read more at Plugin Cars. Ford is halting test drives and sales of certain C-Max hybrid and Focus models due to a safety concern. Cars made during a single week this month at a Michigan factory may not have enough ball bearings in the steering gear assembly, which could lead to loss of control. None of the affected cars have been sold, Ford says, and about 50 units are currently at dealerships. Just over 600 will need to be recalled. Dealerships have been notified of the problem. Read more at Reuters and the The Detroit News. A new EPA report shows that urban air in the US is becoming less toxic since the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The report shows a 66-percent reduction in benzene, almost 60 percent reduction in mercury from man-made sources, 84 percent less lead and more.
