1928 FORD MODEL A 
  WHAT A CAR!!! This roadster started life almost 80 years ago as a 1928 Ford Model A Sports Coupe, it was built over a three year period ending in 2006. It was built by an experienced builder and comes with an owner’s manual showing the complete build. It has just over 6,000 trouble free miles and performs flawlessly.
The original body was widened and stretched with the final dimensions being close to those of a Plymouth Prowler. The grill has been laid back and was designed to replicate the ’33-’34 ford. The rear quarter panels were reinforced with 1/2 "x 1" steel tubing and the front cowl has been tilted back. It has a removable soft top that stores in the rear compartment that opens electrically to allow access.
The suicide doors have electric windows, hidden hinges and Bear Claw latches. The electric windows are activated with switches in the center console or remotely from the exterior for complete security. The interior has a Sony sound system, Mooneye gauges, Issota custom steering wheel, GM tilt column, 2 speed wipers, Ron Francis wiring and gray upholstery and plush gray carpeting.
The frame, rear ladder bars, panhard bar, and differential have all been powder coated silver to match the body color. The front brakes are disc and the rear brakes are drum. The frame was constructed from 2"x 4" steel tubing and was designed to fit the modified body.
Carrara coil over shocks are on both the front and rear for a very smooth and comfortable ride. The front suspension is Mustang II using power rack and pinion steering and Heidt’s control arms. It also has an e-brake, heater and cruise control.
The drivetrain consists of a 350 V8 with a 2004R overdrive automatic transmission (cruises great at 80 MPH). The transmission is shifted using a B&M Quick Silver shifter. The rear end is a 1994 full size Ford pickup with 3.25 gears for real economy with the overdrive. It has American Racing wheels 205/50ZR15 tires on the front and 255/50ZR17 tires on the rear.
This roadster drives and performs outstanding with great gas mileage. You can feel free to drive this car home in comfort and not have to worry about reliability.

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.

Jim Hackett says metal tariffs costing Ford $1 billion in profits

Wed, Sep 26 2018

Ford CEO Jim Hackett divulged in an interview with Bloomberg that the Trump administration's tariffs on metals imported from the European Union, Canada and Mexico have affected the automaker's balance sheet, adding that trade disputes need a quick resolution. "From Ford's perspective, the metals tariffs took about $1 billion in profit from us," Hackett told the outlet. "The irony is we source most of that in the U.S. today anyways. We're in a good place right now, but if it goes on longer there will be more damage." Hackett did not specify what period the $1 billion covered, but a Ford spokesman said the CEO was referring to internal forecasts at Ford for higher tariff-related costs in 2018 and 2019. President Trump in March announced his intention to enact 25 percent tariffs on steel imports and 10 percent on imported aluminum from the three trade zones as a way to protect the U.S. steel industry. The move sent U.S. automakers' stock prices plunging at a time when they were coming off weak monthly sales reports. Separately, President Trump has targeted China with two rounds of tariffs targeting a combined $260 billion worth of imports. China has responded by enacting 25-percent tariffs on U.S. goods including vehicle imports. In the interview, Hackett said that has hurt demand for Lincoln, which has found a growing market for its luxury vehicles in China, and made the price of the Lincoln MKC less attractive to Chinese buyers. The MKC is built at the company's Louisville, Ky. assembly plant. "We've had to move people in that factory to other operations because of that trade problem," he said. It's not clear what those moves entail or how many workers were involved. Autoblog sought comment from a Ford spokeswoman and will update this story if we hear back. Ford last month announced it was scrapping plans to import the Focus Active small crossover to the U.S. from China because of the new 25-percent tariffs on Chinese imports.

Ford bringing 10 custom Transit Connects to SEMA

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

With 57 vehicles planned for its SEMA display, it comes as little surprise that Ford has plenty of teasers for its show cars. After showing us what it has in store for the Mustang, Fiesta and Focus ST, now we're getting a look at some of the custom creations based on the redesigned 2014 Transit Connect van.
These nine Transit Connects are decked out to various degrees of customization, but our favorite might be the chopped and lowered Transit Connect from Mob Steel (shown above), which has a similar slammed stance that we see on some custom VW Buses. On the opposite extreme, LGE & CTS Motorsports has jacked up a Transit Connect to make a Cross Country cruiser that we wouldn't mind taking on a road trip.
There are seven other teasers from various companies, and you can check them all out in the gallery above or in the press release below. Ford is also promising a tenth Transit Connect for SEMA, so stay tuned for that as well.
