Up for sale is a very nice 1938 Dodge pickup. This truck was built over the winter by Altered Image and it was a ground up build. It is ground down raw metal with 3 coats of semi gloss clear sprayed over top. I have had the truck at quite a few shows this year and have received a few trophies and tons of interest from people and other builders. I have put about 650 miles on the truck since it was finished and it runs and drives really nice for what it is. The truck runs along great at 65-70 mph on the expressway and you can idle in traffic all day and the temp with stay around 180-190 degrees. The truck drives straight down the road and corners very nice.90% of the truck consist of new parts and I have all receipts for the complete build as well as a ton of pictures that will go to the new owner. Just for reference I am 6' tall and roughly 180 pounds and I drive the truck everywhere.

As for the truck here are some of the details.


Chassis / Suspension:
The frame is built out of 2''x4'' tubing, z'd front and rear, x bracing under the cab and all plated in 1/4'' plate. The frame is very well built. Front axle is a Lucky 7 4'' drop axle, 28-48 spindles, Speedway disc brake conversion, traditional radius arms, all suspension and steering bars consist of 5/8'' heim joints, mono leaf front spring, rear axle is disc brake Ford, coil springs in the rear, 4 linked rear with a J bar. 

Engine / Trans:

The motor is a small block chevy that has been bored .30 over and is now a 355ci. Some parts are pro comp intake, Edelbrock 600cfm carb, Comp Cams .500 lift cam, comp cam lifters, comp cam hardened push rods, meling high volume oil pump, GM crank and rods, Comp cam double roller timing chain, heavy duty flywheel, small GM starter, small distributor, Gilmer belt and pully set, finned aluminum tall valve covers and air cleaner, K&N air filter, 2000 stall convertor, billet trans pan, braided kickdown cable, and tons of little aftermarkets.

Interior:

The interior is simple but clean with the floor channeled about 5'', sheet metal bomber seats built to fit the cab, 3/4'' steering with all star pull off steering wheel adapter, 14'' Long acre steering wheel, aluminum gauge panel with gauges consisting of volts, temp., oil pressure, and fuel level. Also worked into the panal are you turn signal and high beam indicators. The glove box is a nice storage spot as well and it is 12''wide x 7'' deep x 7'' tall with a cigarette lighter in it to charge your phone or run your gps. There are lap belts and I installed new style latches in the doors so when you shut the door it latches and your not going to fall out. The door handles and window cranks all function and there is door glass in both doors that you can roll up.

Other:

The fuel cell is 15 gallons, the headers were built to clear the steering. There 1 7/8'' to 3'' collectors with 10'' mufflers and the turn down tips. The rims are 17x7 and I just installed NEW tires the other day that are 235/55R17. These have about 30 miles on them now. The tail lights are early 30's ford and they are tinted as well as the front turn signals.

There is just so much going on with the truck that everywhere you look you will notice something. That was the best part of the build and all the little detail. It is very neat and gets tons of attention. This is great to take to shows, Cruises, or just to do a little grocery shopping.

I do have the truck for sale locally as well as online. If you have any questions feel free to give me a call at 989-529-5485.

Buyer is responsible for shipping costs but I will help in any way I can with a shipper to make it easier.

Thanks for looking.

Dodge Journey gets new $24,895* SE V6 AWD model

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

While the Dodge Journey crossover remains largely unchanged for the 2014 model year, there are two new flavors of the seven-passenger CUV on offer: the butch-looking Crossroad, and the SE V6 AWD, pictured right, which makes its debut today. As its name suggests, this new Journey model features the automaker's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, and offers all-wheel drive, which, with a starting price of $24,895 (*excluding $995 for destination), reduces the cost-of-entry for an AWD-equipped Journey by $1,800 versus the SXT AWD model. Scroll down for the official press blast.

Dodge Charger Hellcat and Tesla Model S P85D in Motor Trend Head 2 Head battle

Thu, Apr 30 2015

One has James Bond Mode, Insane Mode, Creep Mode, and, yes, Insane Creep Mode. The other has 707 horsepower and is a heck of a lot cheaper. But which one is the bigger American badass? We figure most people already have strong opinions on the Dodge Charger Hellcat and Tesla Model S P85D, and they aren't likely to be swayed too far in the opposite direction by another person's viewpoint. Still, we think you'll enjoy watching the video above. In it, Autoblog friend and Motor Trend "Head 2 Head" host Jonny Lieberman summons smoke, shares smiles, and spouts spiels about both cars, finally finding one just slightly more badass than the other. Which ridiculously ludicrous American sedan takes top honors? Watch above to find out.

2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

I can pinpoint the exact moment when I fell in love with this car. It was starting down a nearly straight entrance ramp at 15 miles per hour when I buried the throttle. In a moment, I was thrown back into my seat as the big SRT8's engine came to life with commensurate sound, fury and force, bringing me up to 75 mph in what felt like two blinks of an eye. This thing feels so much quicker than its 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque would lead you to believe. And mashing the right pedal never, ever gets old.
But beyond sheer speed, I found a whole lot to like about the Charger SRT8 during my week with the Pitch Black test car here in Detroit. And while the whole Super Bee kit isn't really my style, it's really easy to overlook those badges for a package that offers so much for so little.
