Depot Hack on 2040-cars
Sparrows Point, Maryland, United States
|
The engine is original has new babbited mains with plenty of shims that can be removed, new internal everything. The magneto was new, the trans was perfect I replaced the bands with Kevlar ones. I replaced the driveshaft tube bushing, shaft & bearing. All the bearings and seals were replaced in the rear. The body was built from the original plans including the bowed doors with a lot of the original wood. The suspension is all new. To the best of my knowledge the wheels, radiator & driveline are all original. The car has an electric starter but I always hand crank it. It is 6 volt with a new deep cycle battery with a battery tender hooked to it. I start & run the car on the Magneto. It has brake lights & headlights with oil marker lights on the cowl. The brakes are mechanical. I drive it to the snow ball stand in town about 2 miles it never gets hot and always runs perfect. The car probably has about 50 miles on it. I painted it so although there is no runs or sags, its not a mirror finish either. All in all it's a great car to drive to the snowball stand. |

Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data
Fri, 14 Feb 2014Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.
Ford Focus Electric and ST recalled over lighting issue
Mon, 12 Aug 2013Ford is recalling 6,308 units of the 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric and 2013 Focus ST that were fitted with HID headlights because a "wiring incompatibility" could keep the front side marker lights from working. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall should begin in the middle of this month, after which owners can take their cars to dealers to have the wiring assembly repaired free of charge.
You can find more information in the NHTSA bulletin posted below.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue
Tue, 28 May 2013We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.
